Family skate

Elliot is a young man of few wants.  His preferred birthday gift this year was for the family to go skating together.... so that is exactly what we did.
Elliot and Christianna

Oliver had always been the one to bring each of us skating, one-on-one, so most of us have had a bit of practice, but he's had the most practice!

Tobias skates toward Arianne



Christianna finds new friends when she skates

Every.single.Hellwig in the family made it there that day!  Even Timothy!


Gabrielle decided not to skate just yet, so she took pictures:

Now, what is an ice-skating party without an ice-cream afterwards?  (Answer: a lovely one, but made even sweeter with a treat!)

While waiting for a treat,  my eldest and youngest posed with "bears."












Aaaaah... the treats are here!
