We began the day at the Galleria American Girl doll store.....3 VERY excited little girls and 1 not so excited lil boy!
After checking into a very crowded hotel and letting the kids play in the rooms for a bit, we headed over to ICE....a really amazing display of hand carved ice sculptures that were HUGE and colorful and kept in rooms that were 9 degrees. It was COLD!!! A 15 minute walk thru is about all you can stand.
There was an ice slide that the kids all loved...
Sculptures of everything from Twas the Night Before Christmas
Crazy girls having fun!
The last display was a full nativity scene that was absolutely beautiful. I couldn't get the whole thing in my shot because of its enormity.
Then the kids went to listen to Mrs. Clause read a story and have cookies and milk with her.
Then a walk around the magnificent decorations that fill this resort.
Early next morning, we were off to have breakfast with the Elves....that would be the Elf on the Shelf elves!!!
Even tho it looks like this is a sweet quiet moment at the breakfast table....I find myself always collecting these when we have all of them gathered together at a table...heheheh...never be too careful!!
And what would a Christmas event weekend be without a visit with the ol' man himself!
Two are missing because neither one of them really like to sit on his lap yet!!!
It was such a fun weekend and one I think they will remember for a while!!!
Next up??? A GREAT THANKSGIVING CELEBRATION!!!
(we kind of got out of order with our holidays...but who cares when you're having fun??!!)
