It was so exciting and it brought back memories. Four years ago, we remember watching the last winter Olympics in Minnesota with our brand new baby girl. We enjoyed it then too, but this time Cassidy enjoyed it with us and stayed up late to watch the exciting events. Our coffee table became our dinner table. There were moments of big cheer, times we shared tears with the athletes, felt heartache for those athletes who fell or got disqualified after training so hard for so long, and felt joy over their perseverance and the will not to give up.
We enjoyed watching Cassidy try to mimic the correct form of ski jumping and other events. Cassidy decided she wanted to be just like the ice skaters and dance just like them as long as she didn't have to dance on ice.
We enjoyed watching these games as a family for weeks. And now we are on Olympic withdrawals. Cassidy still begs me to watch the Olympics. Can the Summer games get here soon enough???? And maybe we should take a vacation to Canada, it's gorgeous!

I LOVE it! My girls used a big blanket on the floor as their ice skating rink...they even did pair skating with dad :) Such great memories....where did 4 years go? It does not seem that long ago she was born.
