Ice castle fun and birthdays!

We had such a good day off of work yesterday! My father in laws birthday is on Valentines day, so we decided to celebrate it yesterday. We went up to Heber to hang out with the fam! Spence got in some racquetball time with his mom and brothers, while I played marbles with our niece Skyla :) I had no idea marbles was the "in" thing for kids right now! Then we had dinner with everyone! It's so much fun to get the whole Fam together. Doesn't happen too often, so definitely thankful for the times we can make it happen :)

We love marbles!

Opening gifts. Happy birthday Doug!

My main man Eddy. Love him so much!!

After dinner we went to the Ice Castles in Midway! We were anticipating a long line so we thought we were being smart by buying tickets online before we went.... the wait was still an hour and a half!! And it was freeeeeeezing. We made it fun though! Went and watched the ice skaters for a while, walked around, some of the girls actually decided to ice skate while we wait! Once we FINALLY got into the castles... I wasn't too impressed. Haha it was fun! Just not really worth the wait in my opinion. Still pretty cool though and fun to experience it with family!

Most of us that were there!

Needless to say, we had a great day off! We are so blessed. Also, just have to give a shout out to my Grandma Hardman! Her 80 brithday was on Saturday. We had a surprise birthday party for her at Golden Corral (sp?). She is the BEST!! Love her so much and her example to me. 

Isn't she beautiful?? Happy birthday Grandma!!
