There's more to life than just hockey. And so in between a 3:15 p.m. Saturday game and a 10 a.m. Sunday game...
We squeezed in a quick trip south to sing happy birthday to cousin Zane.
Yes, it was a very long day and late night. Yes, watching AJ play hockey the next day, it was obvious he was tired. But hey. At least there was cake. And not just any cake. It was red velvet cake decorated by the birthday boy himself.
And there were presents to unwrap. Thankfully, when the time came to actually unwrap the presents, there were still a few that hadn't already been revealed.
Darling little Sydney and sweetly innocent Zane have a devious side to them. Zane's Grandma Kathy busted the two of them hiding in his room, where they'd managed to smuggle a few gifts and were gleefully unwrapping them.
When the guilty parties were herded back into the living room, I motioned Sydney to come over to me.
"Whose idea was it to sneak the presents and open them?" I asked.
With just a hint of a smile, Sydney admitted, "Mine."
"Sydney!" I started to scold. But before I could say anymore she quickly changed her answer, covering her mouth with her hands.
"I mean Zane! It was Zane! Don't tell! Don't tell!"
And Zane sat smiling through it all. Those two... we shall have to watch them.
