Ice at the Gaylord Texan

 

Ice is so cool. It is all made of ice and carved by men from Harbin,China. It is so cold in the exhibit that they give you the huge coats to wear or you will freeze. This year it was Peanuts Christmas theme and so fun. At the end there is an angel and manger scene all out of ice.

Fort Worth Stockyards

 

Marianne and Stephen decited to go to the stockyards and we went too. The Fort Worth Stockyards is where they used to sell livestock mostly cattle and is now a fun place to go. We were able to meet up with my best friend Kristi and her kids there. We got to see all sorts of fun things like a lightbulb that had been burning for 100 years and a stuffed armadillo with a santa hat and sign saying "Ain't I cute". (It's in the bottom right hand corner.)

Texas

 

Madiso and I were able to go to Texas for New Year's and visit my family. We also got to eat at Cracker Barrel. The General Store is so much fun!

Madison

 

For Christmas Madison got a Ripstick from her Grammy. She loves it and rides it better then Sean. He wiped out 3 times and I won't try because I know I will crash.

Christmas Morning

 

Madison was sleeping still at 7am so I woke her up sreaming "It's Christmas!!!". She got up quick. Then she got her Dad up the same way I got her up. We opened presents and got everything we wanted and more. Our big gift was a Wii and we had fun playing bowling and tennis.

Christmas Eve

 

Christmas Eve was spent at the Edington's house. We have so much fun there. Madison, Troy and Ben were the wise men this year. We had the pinata that Grandma fills and the Night Before Christmas she reads. It's always a great time.
