ICE!

We all took a family trip to the ICE! exhibit at the Gaylord Texan hotel. My sister and her family are in town, so the whole family went! They give you these big blue parkas to wear, since it is 9 degrees inside the ice sculpture area. Brrr! Here is a picture of Ethan under the "ice" trees.

Kaden rode is style in his carseat, bundled under two of the parkas. He was so toasty warm that he promptly fell asleep!

Here is a picture of a gingerbread house made entirely out of ice, with Ethan peeking through the window.

Everyone had to sit on Santa's lap! In the picture is my sister, my nephew Owen, Ethan, my nephew Warren, and my dad.

There was a big ice slide for all the kids (and some of the adults) to slide down on. They are sliding underneath all of Santa's reindeer. Ethan is the one sliding down!

And the best for last... the entire nativity scene carved in ice. It was really beautiful. Ethan ran into that room and yelled "Look, Mommy, it's baby Jesus!". A good way to sum up the experience!
