Judith and Grandpa getting in some snuggle time watching a movie.
We went to ICE at the Gaylord Resort and Conference Center. I was so beautiful--everything sculpted in ice!
They provide parkas so we can endure the 11 degree freezer.
The theme was Christmas Around the World. So these were Peanuts-esque ice children in traditional dress from various countries.
See how huge this was?! All ice.
More ice children. Jonas fit right in.
As if anyone doubted, here I am--my name right there on the nice list.
Judith and her friend the ice elf.
Everyone piled into this ice sleigh.
The boys sitting in the lap of a giant, pink, ice bear.
In the very last room that you could walk through there was a 12+ foot ice angel and a complete ice nativity scene dedicated to the real reason for the Christmas season. I thought that was great.
Mike and Jonas left after the last room, but me and Ezra and Judith went back to slide down the slides a few times. This is us with the National Harbor ferris wheel in the background.
Jonas was upset that we would let him do Build-A-Bear after we came out of ICE, so he's hiding behind the sign (kind of at Mike's elbow).
Nana did what Nana's do best--baked Christmas goodies with the grandkids.
She and Jonas made some fudge to go with other Christmas goodies that the kids delivered to our neighbors (along with an invitation to the Christmas Eve services).
Here they are bagging goodies.
Candlelight Service at church.
Christmas Eve at home.
Our traditional birthday party for Jesus.
Some pictures from Christmas morning.
This is a video of the kids sliding down the ice slide at ICE.
