A Weekend of Firsts

We're going to have to take a step back to the first weekend of Winter Break. It's going to take me a hot minute to blog everything I want to about the past few weeks! But our first weekend of break included a lot of firsts for our family worth sharing.

First up, Drew finished her first season of volleyball! It was crazy how bad all these little girls were at first, I mean B.A.D. Little by little, they got better over the season and I loved watching Drew practice and work to get better! 

Her winning serves in her last game!

Her adorable team! She is standing between 2 of her besties - Raina and Zara.

 I hope she will keep playing!

THEN, later in the same day, we took Paige to get her ears pierced for the first time! She has wanted her ears pierced since she was 3.5, and the only reason we waited was because of stupid Covid. We got it done at Target with their Hey Rowan stands - done by a registered nurse and not with the ear-piercing gun. It took about 30 seconds to pierce both ears and Paige did great!

A little unsure {since it did hurt} but also loving it, ha.

The next first, in the same day, was the kids all roller-skating at a rink for the first time! This was HILARIOUS. They were all terrible at first but slowly got better! I have a million amazing videos but will limit myself. {grin}

Pretending to fall with Brinley

Drew and Paige getting so much better!

You can see Trent up at the top of the video killing it!

Sunday we had the first party for Paige away from home. Yay for no prep or cleanup! We celebrated at her gymnastics place, and she had a blast.

How does she look SO BIG?!

Why does Drew have to do this? sigh.

So loved and lucky

Our last first was taking care of the chickens Trent's class is responsible for. Their community has a micro-economy and have several ventures to raise money for their class. Over winter break, the chickens needed to be taken care of and we signed up for a few days. Trent was SO good with the chickens, it was really sweet to see him so nurturing to them.

See? I wasn't kidding that we had a lot of firsts ha!
