Anita received a romantic gift from her beau, Brad, when she attended her first ice skating show. Holiday on Ice made a pitstop in Moscow, and the Caldwells were fortunate enough to attend with Majors Peter and Karen Clark. A fine time was had by all. That is the performance hall behind us. Posted by Picasa
