It is great news. Madison and Evan always add something special
to the ID competitions and I have missed them this season.

I love that insta post...and so did Megan Duhamel and Tessa Virtue. Such fun. And also good skating.

The video is totally adorable and fun. :luv17:
Interesting that in a reply to a comment, Madi says that it is her first time on natural ice.
Not 100% sure whether needed in this case, but I do want to give a general caution re "fan"/impostor accounts that mimic the authentic accounts of real skaters.
Among those who commented on this unquestionably likable post is an account name that has a one-character difference from Tessa's own verified account.
(If the real Tessa also responded to the video with a comment and/or "like", I missed her name among the many who did.)
As an another example (unrelated to this video), I have seen a "fan"/impostor account name that has a one-character difference from Gracie Gold's verified account.
In the case of this video, no harm done, one way or the other.
But it bothers me to imagine a worst-case scenario of an impostor liking a potentially controversial political post -- e.g., "Vote against XYZ!" -- and a skater unfairly being assumed to have a view that does not really belong to her.
And now I will step down from the soapbox. Happy New Year to all, especially the doggies.

Couldn't agree more about that account. I've seen it around and everything I have read seems really positive towards others but it really annoys me how close it is to her real account that I think people won't always pick up the difference when scrolling through comments. And I think that is unfair to her.

Since I am going to be at Mentor Cup next week, I made a bouquet for Madison & Evan from tissue paper, here's the effect: https://mobile.twitter.com/NoNameFace10/status/1080979555047886849

Because red, white & blue!
They look wonderful.
I almost wish Madison's were in a lei to honor her Chinese-Hawaiian ancestry. She is now included in wikipedia as a notable person from this group!

This is lovely. You are so sweet to do this for Madi and Evan. :luv17:
Speaking of sweet, Madi posted this photo on Instagram yesterday. I think it's one of the best ever off-ice photos of the two of them.

OT. I was curious about the sunflowers card that you gave Piper and Paul with their bouquet. Was it hand-made as well, or were you able to buy a card that matched the bouquet?
Back on topic: are you going to make the card for Madi and Evan or will you buy one to match the flowers?
