| Merry Christmas from the Fearless Femmes! |
Tonight we celebrated Christmas, Femme style! A few weeks back, we drew names for a Secret Santa gift exchange and Alli suggested a clever and playful way for us to reveal ourselves . . . by singing a self-written song for, and about our recipient. Thus, the evening began with musical hilarity as we rapped, caroled, and serenaded each other with our personalized original lyrics! I think we were all thoroughly impressed and entertained by the creativity and wittiness of each others' songs, while the vocal talents were slightly less impressive. :)
We then arrived at Lidia's for a delicious Italian dinner, and while we waited for our food to arrive we exchanged gifts. We are definitely girly girls as almost every gift involved some sort of fashion accessory . . . lots of purses, jewelry and cosmetics!

After dinner we headed to Crown Center for an ice skating adventure, chosen by Brandi. Brandi said she had not been ice skating since childhood, and recalled being too terrified then to ever let go of the wall. But, that was before she became Fearless!

From the moment we stepped onto the rink, it became apparent that there was a divide amongst the group in our comfort level on the ice. Brandi, Amy and Alli started off by clinging to the wall, but one by one began to brave the "no hands" technique. Jessi and Meghan were fairly comfortable on their blades from the get-go and kept a moderate pace, while Lisa and myself were definitely the most daring on the ice; skating a little faster and more wrecklessly than the others. Everyone did great and once again there was a group concensus of, "That was more fun than I expected it to be!"
