North Dakota

While we were in North Dakota for Thanksgiving we made sure to do a few fun things while there. My niece is big into ice skating, and she's really good, so we went ice skating with her! It was so fun watching her. She's SO good!! Olympics perhaps? We left Presley with her grandparents so we could spend some quality time with Kyson since it was his first time ice skating. He slipped within the first thirty seconds and got so mad that he didn't want to try again haha. So he sat on a chair and we took turns pushing him around on it. He loved that haha.

these are all crappy iPhone pictures, so bear with me.

 And then of course the guys started showing off and trying to one up each other. It was hilarious. The Madsen boys have no shame!

My MIL runs a movie theater so it's a tradition to have private showings of whatever they're playing. We decided on Mocking Jay. I loved The Hunger Games books and it's been fun seeing what they do with the movies. But I've been so disappointed in all three movies so far. I think it's because they leave so much out! Anyway, the very opening scene is of Katniss laying in bed rolling a marble, but for the first few seconds you don't see the marble just that she's rolling something in her fingers. During that scene Dave leaned over to me and said "she's rolling a bugar!" I died laughing for TWENTY minutes over that comment! It still makes me laugh just thinking about it. haha

We spent a lot of our time tending to a sick baby, so we played a lot of card games while Presley slept. we house hunted, did a little bit of shopping and took lots of naps. I don't know why but I was soo tired up there. I could not get enough sleep! We always have the funnest most relaxing visits in North Dakota.
