ICE 2014 {Frosty the Snowman}

My friend Abby, and her ever-growing brood, always stop by on the way to her family's Christmas.  For the 3rd time, we enjoyed the Gaylord Texas ICE exhibit this year.  The theme was Frosty the Snowman, and I thought it was really cute (better than The Nutcracker, not as good as Peanuts, because who can top snoopy?)

Abby and I went with her two older kiddos, while her husband Brian waited out in the warmth with the babies.






The ice slides are always fun





This year, they had a section called the "frostbite factory" where they showed you details about how they turn this 2 million pounds of ice into a display. 
Complete with carving demonstrations


The end of the exhibit is always a big nativity scene.  This year they added a big angel to the mix...


Outside of the exhibit they had a picture made of legos, and a tree decorated with lego ornaments.  Brooks came up with some ideas for a lego tree next year.
had to get sis Emery in on the pics too

the big kids did several runs on the snow tubes.  here are the babies while we waited...
and then we went to the atrium to check out the decorations before we left




G headed right for the trains



all the boys loved watching the trains

It's SATC Saturday Again

First, I will start you off with a little movie... Sex and the City- All the Best Moments from the Movie. WARNING : If you haven't seen the movie, don't watch this.  Oh, and also please rectify this ASAP.  Ann-  they have the movie at your local TJ Maxx for $5.99.  I meant to buy it for you when I was there and bring it to you at Robin's party, but I got distracted by lamps and forgot (sorry!).  This week has been pretty lame-o on the updates front. All I have found is that there are reports of some drama on the set between Kim Cattrall and SJP.  Of course there have been reports in the past that these two gals didn't get along (personally I think it is just because KC is a little too big for her britches and doesn't seem to always remember that SJP is an executive producer and Carrie is, well the star ).  There are also reports that SJP is possibly a little overwhelmed with having the two new twin girls and little James Wilkie to take care of...
