From PBone to Tobogganing

January 24th was my Birthday and I had such an awesome day.  Chrissy and the kids spoiled me rotten and I got to spend some quality time with the Family.

 At Olive Garden with Chrissy and my boy for lunch

 At Montana's for dinner with my Ma & Pa, the Russell's, Uncle Ian and of course Gallitown

 I look so goofy. Like a little boy so excited to be sang too :)

 Me and my girl

Earlier that day Chrissy and the kids gave me my presents and I was SO EXCITED when I opened up the PBone.  A PBone is basically a plastic Trombone.  The neat thing is it sounds exactly (or pretty close) to a brass trombone.  It is going to be so much fun to play!

 Opening up the PBone

 Playing for the kids

 Big Zach giving it a go. I was proud of both Abby and Zach.  They were able to get a pretty decent sound out and love to play it.

 Playing for Abs.  Then she wanted to Bieber so we downloaded some sheet music and...

 "Baby" by Justin Bieber.  If you listen really close you'll hear Abs singing along!

 Big Eddy playing some more PBone

Saturday morning we headed to Salto for Gymnastics.  Both kids are having so much fun and learning lots

Below are two videos of Abby.  She is doing so awesome and is now in a level where she is learning some cool things.

 Climbing the rope.  She says next week she is going to make it to the blue tape at the top!

Saturday afternoon we went tobogganing with the Russells.  There is a great hill right by their house.
