Visiting Who-ville
On New Year's Day we decided to visit Gaylord (home of ICE!) and see their winter set up. The original plan was to just look at everything in the lobby and save our money on ICE! as it's SUPER expensive (even with all three kids free!!). However, as we were driving out there, I started to really want to visit ICE! and convinced John to go too. We looked around at the trains, trees and santas before we went in and then made the long walk to ICE!.
We went in the morning so there was NO crowds (everyone was sleeping in from NYE I guess :-). We walked right in and got to see everything right away. The kids were big enough this year to wear their own jackets. Although Abby was annoyed the sleeves covered her hands. I wore Lily and just got a large sized jacket to cover us both up. It was hard to tell she was in there at times and people would freak out if she'd move and they quickly discovered I had a baby hiding in my jacket.
Jake and his crazy hat. He loves that thing!
Not sure if you can tell from this pic or not, but his tongue is out. He kept licking the ice. We tried to stop him b/c I just knew it would get stuck and I was not going to the those parents people saw on the 6:00 news whose kid shut the ICE! exhibit down b/c his tongue was frozen to the ice!!
There were super short lines at the slides so the kids got to go down them. Although the pics are super blurry they had fun. The kids were a bit confused at first though as they made them lay down on their backs to go down the slide, not sit like a typical slide.
Awe - me and my crew. 
They loved looking at these fish. Abby fed them a leaf and we both thought they were going to jump in at some point. They kept getting closer and closer to the edge.

Awe - me and my crew.I wanted to get a good shot of the twins sitting next to this giant reindeer, and while I did get a shot of them looking the same way at the same time, it's not at the camera! Oh well, take what you can get, right?

A White Christmas
I have several things to catch up on and hope to do that tomorrow when the kids return to school, but I did have a moment to get these up today during lunch when all three kids overlapped their naps (so rare!).
We were at my mom's this year for Christmas so we missed the snow at our house, but there was plenty at her house. My sister and her crew weren't coming over for the family festivities until the afternoon so after breakfast I bundled the kids up and headed out to play in the snow. Of course, being in Texas, I didn't have gloves or snow boots (I left the rain boots at home :-). Oh well, how often do we get a white Christmas!
The kids were excited and ran out to play in the snow. It was too soft to build a snowman, but it was fun to throw in the air. However, after just 15 minutes of running around in the snow, the kids started crying because their hands hurt they were so cold and wet, their pants and shoes were soaked too. We came back inside and had Grandpa start a fire to get warm.
Love this shot of Abby!!!
They loved making tracks.
And of course Lily didn't miss out on the snow. She didn't get to play in it, but just looked on from the patio.
