On Saturday, December 10, the children participated in a holiday ice show at the Chapel Hills Ice Rink.
What made the experience a time of celebration and joy was that Dan got to come and watch the children perform!
We pulled his wheelchair right to the rail and he video-taped their performances.
Annabelle dressed up as Belle from "Beauty and the Beast" and did a pair program with Sam Anderson. Rebekah wore a red candy cane skating dress and put a Santa Claus scrunchie in her hair and Joel wore a bright green turtleneck, black pants, and red boot covers and Joel and Rebekah skated to "The Chipmunk Christmas Song" while skating the Dutch Waltz and Starlight Waltz and doing a spiral-spin ending.
After the performance, we all went out to dinner at Jason's Deli.
Yes, it was like the end of the movie "Hans Brinker and the Silver Skates" because in that movie the children were so excited that their father was able to watch them skate even though he was not fully recovered, but able to celebrate from a wheelchair.
We continue to be thankful as Dan continues to recover.
