I know it isn't quite Thanksgiving yet, but Thanksgiving is late this year and we're headed out of town, so we've decided to go ahead and get in the Christmas spirit!
Over the weekend, we put up our decorations while we had carols going on the record player.
I always love the way our house looks with lights!
Yesterday, the girls and I made a full day of ICE at the Gaylord. The theme this year is "A Charlie Brown Christmas", which of course is one of our favorites. We had tickets for 10:00, right when they opened, and it was perfect. We had hardly any waits for anything!
The girls rode the ice slide multiple times.
And they snow tubed a whole bunch, too. Those hills look little, but they were fast! Lots of laughter!
Emma asked to do the holiday build-a-bear station that was part of the event. I normally would have said "no", but yesterday just felt like a "yes" day. Sara told me she didn't need one, but I was glad she changed her mind!
Had to ride the carousel (well, Emma had to; Sara humored us).
After spending lots of time at the ICE exhibit, we went out into the hotel to enjoy the decorations and find Santa. Sara asked for books and Emma asked for Legos.
After seeing Santa and a couple more rounds of tubing, we headed to downtown Grapevine to eat a late lunch. After eating, we walked up and down the street. They were setting up for a festival, so we took a couple of pictures and hit up the candy store.
Such a fun day with my girls, and now we are officially holiday ready (except for buying gifts, planning meals, etc., etc., etc.).
