Dr. Suess

On New Year's Eve ... we took the kids to see Ice! at the Gaylord Hotel, featuring How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Suess. Yeah ... I am a little behind on blogging ... perhaps Christmas photos are next.

Ice! is a custom ice exhibit that is made by artisans flown in from all over the world. It is freakin amazing ... and takes a whole lot of talent, that I would love to have.

The exhibit is kept at 9 degrees ... um yeah, it is cold. They give you these huge blue eskimo coats to wear over your own coat ... Nika waddled like a penguin and could barely walk.

The ice slides ... all three kids went down ... brr!

Outside the exhibit they have these carolers ... err, performers ... to set the holiday mood. Love that.

And this enormous Christmas tree made out of Peeps ... how cool is that?

We meandered over into the Gaylord ... that is one awesome hotel. This glass Christmas tree hung from the ceiling.

And right under the tree was a train for the kids ... big and little ... to ride. I snapped pictures ... "Guys, look at me!"

Oop ... not good enough for this perfectionist momma. Try again. By this time, I had snapped maybe 20 shots and still didn't get them all looking.

Do you think Mason was frustrated with me? Ha ... just look and smile, kid.

"Thank you all for at least looking in my direction!"

We really had a great day. I love taking time to do things like this with just our little family.
