Christmas time!!

 Behind the scenes....TRYING to get a picture for our Christmas cards.  Just a typical day...

 

 Such goofballs!

 Finally....the winner shot!

Checking out the "Trains at Northpark."

Grady was really fascinated by the trains.  I think he was taking mental notes on how he wants his room decorated!

 Woo hoo!  More trains!  This time, we were at the Gaylord Hotel.

 Taylor LOVES everything Christmas, so she is more than excited to pose next to anything that is Christmas-related!!  Here she's next to one of the beautiful trees at the Gaylord.

And here she is next to a gigantic gingerbread house!

A family shot while at the Gaylord.  All smiles!!

 

The kids getting ready to enter the "Charlie Brown Christmas" ice sculptor display at the Gaylord.  We were all required to wear these blue parkas b/c it was 9 degrees inside!! 

 

Taylor was sooo excited about seeing Snoopy!

The ice sculptors were really amazing!  It was a lot of fun to see them.

 

Grady didn't really know what to think about the whole ice thing!  He wasn't loving the parka!

 

Aunt Patty and Taylor trying to get some help from Lucy!

 

Taylor and I watched "A Charlie Brown Christmas" a few days after we visited the Gaylord, and she liked to point out all the parts of the show that we saw as ice sculptors.

Everyone needs to experience a "Grady kiss!!"  He doesn't understand the concept of keeping his lips together!
