Ellie and I had the amazing opportunity to spend a weekend at the Century Link Center for the Ice Skating Champinship finals over the weekend of January 26th-28th. Dave was so kind as to buy us the weekend package when they first went on sale last year. What a guy! It was an amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience. These are the skaters that will be going to the Olympics in 2016 and it will be so cool to say that we saw them skate in person. Plus it was a bonus to be able to spend the entire weekend with my girl! We were there Friday night, all day Saturday and Sun afternoon. It was a long weekend but totally worth it! Ellie really seemed to enjoy it and a highlight for her was being picked out of the entire crowd to be the "Smucker's Fan of the Night". She was chosen and what she had to do was speak in the microphone over the loudspeaker to the entire crowd and say "Everything is better with Smuckers" and then we got our seats upgraded to almost the front row and got a bag full of little treats, etc. It was quite the experience! The seats were fabulous and they were almost right up to the ice. Pretty cook that she was chosen out of everyone there!!
