Holiday Hockey Party

Colton started Weymouth Youth Hockey a few weeks ago and this Sunday they had a Skate with Santa Holiday Party. Hockey starts at age 4 here in Weymouth and he literally is the youngest on the team by a year or two so some of these kids look totally pro next to him. He still loves it though and is getting better every week. The program is super organized, the coaches are really patient, and he loves it so much that I am a little closer to calling myself a hockey mom. There is still hope that he will fall in love with a less contact involved sport and something with a little warmer weather but that would be too easy right?!?!

So at this party, Santa had skates that looked like boots and actually skated with the kids. They also had pizza, gatorade (Colton's dream come true) and Santa had little presents for the kids. Somehow Colton has managed to make friends with all the "big kids" who help the coaches out every week. He ignores the kids his age and basically follows the older guys around the ice. If they did a group photo, he was in it, if they went into the penalty box or sat on the benches, he went with them, if they were goofing around with each other, he was right there with them. Now mind you these kids are at least 10 years older than him. Sometimes he really is just Mr. Social and I just sit back and laugh. Other times, I pretend I don't know him...lol...just kidding of course! He is a ham and I love him!!!

One of coaches took pictures of the event and here are a few I found in the bunch with Colton in them.

There he is to the right of Santa (look at Santa's elbow).

To the right again...

You can't really see him but if you see the guy with the green shirt (Coach Steve) he has his arm around Colton telling him he can take a picture with the big kids...lol.

Where's Waldo?
No more clues!
