Who in the world gets up at 4 AM in order to drive a bunch of kids to the ice rink? Apparently tons of parents so I don't really feel like I am the only one who has lost my sanity!
Hot chocolate and bagels... Frost in the air... the zamboni machine... and the slicing of ice beneath a metal runner...
Christmas music broadcast live... a TV channel or 3... Oh how we love Kansas City traditions! A winter season just wouldn't be the same without ice skating at crown center!
We had a fantastic time, met up with several other families we knew (but didn't know were attending) and froze all of our fleshy parts while listening the the joy and laughter of children.
Staying upright on the skates we a little harder for some. Ahem, Blake!
Others thought it cruel and unusual punishment to be freezing this early in the morning AND getting blisters!
Some were just plain thrilled and enjoyed the experience to the fullest.
None caring if make up was applied. There is no way to prevent a red nose!
Some skate around and ask "Have you fallen yet?"
Good thing there is lighting in this place... cause it sure is dark outside.
Friends bond... and build new memories.
Others are constantly checking out the cute boys...
If you get bored you can always talk about what everyone is wearing.
You can talk... Until big brother comes around.
Seniors giggle while playing tricks on boys
And eventually persistence pays off and I get a mug shot with out hands in the face
As we go round and round... we believe we are making this world a better place

Oh, my heavens y'all were up early! Looks like a totally fun time, though.
4 am! My word, woman! It does look like a truly wonderful experience no matter what time it was.
