MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!! I can't believe Christmas is here! This year went by soooo fast! Our Christmas was a pretty busy one. . . but also very low-key. This Christmas we didn't have any family come so we had some quality time with our immediate family. We made lots and lots and lots of treats and spent most of the break with our good friends, the Bergs! Their mom is good friends with my mom and they have a daughter who is my age and her name is also Madison! And then they have Amelia who is almost the same age as Lillian and they are really good friends. They both swim on my swim team so we are all just awesome friends!!! The Bergs are moving at the end of June to Minnesota so Madison B and I are trying to spend as much time as we can with each other!!!
Since Christmas was on a Sunday we had to rush to open up all our presents and then run to our 11 am time church service! When Christmas falls on a Sunday we only have to have the 1 out of 3 hour "parts" so it was nice that we could come home sooner and play with our awesome gifts! This year I got stocking stuff, sweaters, shirts, jewelry, moccasins, leg warmers, swim suits, nail polish, a robe, we got Just Dance 3 which is super fun! I also got lotion, rings and a ring holder, a Vera Bradley bag and. . . . a KINDLE!!! I was sooo happy about that gift! All I've been doing is reading!!! My mom finally gave me permission to read the Twilight series (except the fourth one) so I've finished all of them in like 2 1/2 days. . . Anyways, what did you guys get (or give) for Christmas?
Welcome to Skates and Goggles, the best blog around! So tighten your goggle straps and sharpen your ice skating blades and. . . read!!
This blog is all about 2 crazy sisters and their busy and fun life. The oldest Madison swims, and Lillian skates!
We hope you get a good kick out of our posts and be sure to comment! Have a fantabulous day!

And now. . . for the exciting conclusion!!!!! Sit back and relax, ha! No way! No one can relax when watching Bob Jr!!! P.S. If you haven't seen Part 1, just scroll down and watch!
Bob Jr Learns the True Meaning of Christmas
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I am sooo happy that Christmas Eve is tomorrow and Christmas is in two days! I just can't believe how fast this year has flown by! And, how much is going on! First of all, this Christmas we're not doing much. Just hanging with friends as much as possible before our lives change! This Christmas will definitely be a small one. . . We are starting to get rid of stuff from our house so when we start packing, we won't be packing junk! In Michigan right now, it is 40-50 degrees (fahrenheit) and rainy! I am really sad it will be a brown Christmas. . . Well enough babbling on!! I will get to the awesome, amazing, Bob Jr! It is the second Christmas special, and we hope you like it! This special is so special it needs to be done in two different parts! On Dasher, on Dancer, on Prancer, on Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blixen!!! On Bob Jr!!!!!!

Happy Black Friday!! (And Late Thanksgiving!)
Well, the title pretty much says it all! How was your Thanksgiving? Ours was a bit different this year, we went to this old and historic, super nice and fancy, restaurant! It was about one hour away from our house but it was definitely worth it. It was a four-course meal, and we were VERY stuffed and had tons of leftovers!! What were some of the things you had for Thanksgiving dinner? The other AWESOME thing we did yesterday was we out up our Christmas tree and decorated our house!!! I was really happy about that. The only bummer of a thing was when my mom said we couldn't put up all our decorations and ornaments because there was just too much right now! We might put them up later though. . . . I am sooooo excited for Christmas though!! There is just so much to love about it!! The weather (most of the time!), the food, the family, the fun, the gifts, and just the overall spirit and feeling. Although, Black Friday is supposed to be great, the sales at the places we went to, stunk!! There was barely anything on sale and they were like $1-2 off at the most! Ah well, there will always be other times to get presents and stuff. Ok, adios! Have to run. . . When you comment, tell us what you want to for Christmas!!! Ok, see ya!

First Week of School. . .
Lol, more like the first MONTH!!! I'm soooo sorry I haven't posted since September 9, to be exact. GOSH! There is so much to tell! I'm gonna make it super short (actually I don't how long it will be - so bear with me!) so yeah. . . here it goes. I'm going to a new school, Jefferson. One word. Awesome. It is way better compared to my other school Reach. If you go back to like last year in September it probably has me saying: "OMG! Reach is awesome!" and "School is great!" and "This will be the best year!" Boy, was I wrong!!!! I think I already published (or told!) you how much 6th grade was like the worst one for me. It's only 6th grade!! Think about high school. . . I'm scared!
There is over 1000 kids at our school! My old school only had about 120 :P so this is a HUGE jump for me!! I love actually having locks on my lockers, again my old school didn't and thats been sorta fun, and they actually treat us like we're in middle school instead of elementary (my old school acted as if we were like 3rd graders but then gave us PILES of hw and we took an australian test, the MEAP {michigan educataion assessment program}, MAP 3x a year, a florida test and some other one that I have no idea what its called!) I love my new school!!! I've already made a bunch of friends but I sit at lunch with my 8th grade friends!
And. . . guess what??? I'm doing dance again!!! This time a hip hop class (it's soooo much fun!) and then my parents made me go into this acro/stretch class because I need to stretch and cuz im soooooooooo not flexible! Those are on Thursdays and it was soo hard and now I'm all sore and stuff. . . anyway I'm so excited! Omg!!! I totally forgot! I made the volleyball team!!! We practice everyday and I'm loving it!!! I'm learning tons of stuff too! We are practicing at the high school since my middle school is under construction (unfortunately just part of it so we still have school :(. . .) and we have or own lockers and everything at the high school! After school I just walk to the high school since its like 15 sec away (driving wise-about 5-8 min to walk).
For volleyball, we are working on our "bump, set, spike" routine so when we get to high school we will already be comfortable and good at it! I'm more of a "spiker" and my overhand serves stink! BUT!!! . . . I've been working on them a bunch and (thanks to my dad!) I've been making it over a few times!! YES!!! Anyways. . .
Back to school!!!! My classes are good, I love most of my teachers and I've navigated through the WAY bigger hallways than Reach ever had. I'm just so happy that I'm at a "real" middle school with 10 times more people and 100 times more fun!!!! This school is great!!! (watch me at the end of the school year, eat up my words like last year!)
It's almost Halloween!!! I'm soo excited but I still don't know what to be!!! I was thinking Katniss Everdeen from the trilogy: The Hunger Games (Best books EVER!!! READ THEM!!!). But since a lot of people don't know about it. . . I'm going to be her next year when the first movie comes out sometime in March. I'm sooo excited!!! Lol so, PLEASE comment about ANY ideas you might have for a COSTUME!!!! I don't really care if they're "bad" but I just need SOMETHING cause I'm lost! Ok. . . bye!!!
P.S. I said I was gonna make this SUPER SHORT. I lied. ;)

Midnight Show
Guess what?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Last night (actually this morning) we went to the theatres at midnight and saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2!!!! It was the best movie I have ever seen. . . the best thing was that me, lil, my mom, my bff hannah, her brother - jackson (lil's friend), and their mom all went together and then afterwards hannah came over at our house (at like 3:30 am!) to have a little sleepover! We were sooo tired we didn't do anything but sleep! We all slept in til like 12:30 pm! I am very sad that this is the last one because I love Harry Potter!! Who else saw it? And what was your favorite part???
Now I'll be waiting for The Hunger Games movie. . . ;)

Happy Late 4th of July!
July 4th was really fun this year! My auntie Tristin and Emily came on Sunday and left today :'( (Actually we JUST got home from taking Emily to the airport and Tristin to the train station). Yesterday on July 4th we went on a boat on Lac St Clair and watched the fireworks! It was this thing called a firework cruise. We were on a double decker boat called Huron Lady II, it was me and my family, Auntie Tristin and Emily and then random people we didn't know. We didn't get back home until 1 am! It was sooo much fun! The whole firework show wasprobably like 30-40 minutes in all and it took 1 hr to get to our spot and then 1 hr back again. We started a family tradition!!
p.s. We took that picture!!

You know how it like JUST turned June right? And summer JUST started yesterday? And how most of us JUST got out of school? And. . . AND how it finally JUST starting to get warm (and humid!). Ok, think about this. . . July is JUST about to start in little over a week!! Say WHAT?!? July? Already? Huh? That's right, JULY. CRAZY!! Summer has officially started! (Since yesterday, anyway.) Soooo, why in the WORLD is there rain, and a tornado warning?!?!? Grrr. . . I guess summer hasn't REALLY started. But, hey, it's Michigan!

Cedar Point!
So, as most of you all know, the school year is almost over!!! I get out on the 17 (grr!!) of June and on the 16th. . . drum roll!!!! CEDAR POINT!!!! That's right! I get to go to Cedar Point for my end-of-the-year field trip. I am sooo excited!!! Another thing of big news is that I'm probably gonna go to Jefferson instead of Reach (the school that I'm at right now!). So far, Jefferson looks pretty cool!!! I can't wait! The only sad thing is that most of my 7th grade friends are going but none of the 6th graders are. . . AWWW!!! Ah well, at least I know a FEW people that are going. EEEEEPP!! I am just sooo excited for the end of the school year!!!

OMFDFL!!
That, my friends, stands for "Oh my five dollar foot long!"And the reason why I'm saying that is because I haven't posted in forever! OMFDFL!!!! Well, again, there is lots to tell but let's just shorten things up a bit. School is good, tons of awesome friends and loads of homework. . . I joined Cross Country club at my school and one 1st place for my first meet! I sprained my ankle while running that day and now I am recovering! Me, Ella, Mom and Dad are officially permanent residents. . . we got our Green Cards finally! Life is good so far, so OHD!!! That stands for "Oh Happy Day!"

Oh Happy Day!
This winter has been a strange one for Michigan and the Midwest. We've had a few really big blizzards getting as much as 10+ inches of snow. We recently had a big blizzard where it was thundering and lightning during it! We had a lot of fun playing out in the snow and when it all melted and it was suddenly warm and spring - like, we brought out our bikes and were outside for the most of our mid - winter break. And it snowed. Again. A lot. So now. . . with our 8-10 inches of snow on the ground, and the roads are bad. I don't have any school today! Hurray!!! Just me. Well, in my family. Lil, Ella and Vivien still have school! I think this is like the 5th snow day for us. . . I'm definitely going to this middle school next year! Well, I should go! Be sure to comment and check out the rest of our amazing blog! Toodles!
P.S. When you comment tell us if you like our redesigned blog!

Snow Days and Snowy Days!
Ok, today I decided it was time to write a post since I haven't since like December! And now it's Febuary! There is a lot I need to catch up on. Let's start on our birthdays! Lil's was on January 4th and mine was on the 7th! We had a lot of fun with our birthdays and a big present that we got was Lil's iTouch that she bought with all her birthday money and I got a cell phone!!!! I was really excited about that! And if we haven't yet exchanged numbers we need to! (You know who you are!) Our birthday parties were a success! While Lillian had a "movie" themed party and also went to the theatres to see Secratariet, I had a backwards party where everything was backwards! We had all the pictures upside - down, the table was flippped upside - down and all papers and lights and everything imagineable was upside - down, backwards or inside - out! We had signs saying "Goodbye" when they walked in and "Hello" when they left. Our 'activities' were all done backwards meaning we did presents, then games, then cake, then dinner and THEN we played Just Dance 2 and talked. The game that we played was sort of hard! One person stood up in front of the all the other people. They were assigned an animal that only the 'crowd' knew about and they had to guess. The catch was that no=yes and yes=no. So in your head it was hard to keep track of it all! It was a lot of fun though! All in all it was a great birthday and party for both of us. We're getting a LOT of snow here in Michigan right now! I have already had 4 snow days! Recently we had 2 days off of school this week because of that 'blizzard' that was supossed to be covering over 1/3 of the U.S. It stretched from here to Texas! And one day Texas was colder than Alaska! Crazy! Me and my family had a BUNCH of fun hanging around and making our annual, awesome toboggon hill slide!! It's this big hill that's really steep that you go down on a sled and then go through a cave and once you're through the cave you hit a big bump that slows you down and you finally go on your side. It's awesome! I need to start posting more pictures, ever since I got a camera I've been taking a bunch of pics. It's so much fun to go down on your stomache too! The other snow days I also had 2 days off because of how much snow there was! My new school is awesome! Oh, speaking of school, it's going great! I've made a lot of friends since the beinning of the school year and I'm adjusting to everyone including the teachers. I've started to do ballroom dancing as an after school activity and in a few weeks I'll be joining cross country. Anyway, I got to go! Since it's Saturday I have to clean my room. . . Bye!
P.S. I need your help for helping me decide who to cheer for at the Superbowl tomorrow. I was going for the Steelers but my whole family is cheering for the Packers and I don't know which one to cheer for now! I'm stuck so when you comment give me your advice! And quick the Superbowl is in less than 26 hours!! (I think. . .)
