The day, of course, was all about hockey. Liam had a game in the early A.M., then he and his friend, Kyle, wanted to stay and watch the 14-year-old boys play (they were amazing, FYI), then off to see a movie about, what else...a hockey player, then home to skate and shoot pucks for another hour and a half. Then...the Ranger game. As I type this, Bob and Liam are out back on the ice passing the puck. Liam wanted to warm up before his game this morning.
Psst: I also think that Bobby wants any excuse to get on the ice now-a-days. He is loving the new hockey skills he is acquiring.

Since Dad was in the hospital until Christmas Eve, we decided to celebrate Christmas on January 9. Much fun was had by all. Here are a few pictures...

The rink as it looked at 7:30 a.m. this morning. It is only frozen about a 1/2" deep, so there will be no skating today.

Liam and Mommy waiting for Daddy to finish taking photos. Liam was anxious to get skiing. Bobby thought it was cool that we could see Breckenridge while skiing the back side of Keystone.
