On the fifth day of Christmas...

...my true love gave to me:

Ice Skating!

the Kettler's ice rink (home of the Washington Capitals, woot woot!) was packed!

Daniel's hands were so sweaty it was hard ramming his fist back into the glove

shortly after this shot Daniel & I had a spectacular fall wherein someone's skate scratched his back (not sure whose) and I somehow wrenched my thumb.  but we survived!
