Today was Gaven's big 5th birthday party! He's really into hockey and takes lessons and the Schreier's did it up this year. They rented out the entire Giant Center for almost 2 hours. The picture below is of Gaven decked out in his hockey gear feeling really good!
This was the very first moment Tyler has ever tried ice skating. He was laughing and having a good time...
but then he wanted to hold onto the wall for a few minutes a take a break. It was so cute.
I decided to take Matty on the ice without either of us wearing skates. I figured this would probably be the safest way to handle him! From the very first moment, he was LOVING it in a major way.
Adam then took Matty around on his skates. They were zipping all over the place and the faster Adam went the louder Matty would laugh. Adam would stop for a moment to give his back a break and within seconds Matty was communicating quite well that he wanted to keep doing it.
Mike Schreier was so sweet to Tyler. He whisked him away and they were shooting goals for a while and it was definitely the most relaxed Ty was. He was really enjoying himself and loving the help and attention from Mike.
Both boys had a really fun time, but it was clear that Matty was particularly enjoying himself. I wouldn't be surprised if we find ourselves around the ice hockey rink more often in our future. We stayed on the ice for an hour and then went back to one of the locker rooms for lunch and cupcakes. It really was one of the coolest birthday parties and a wonderful new experience for our family.
