Our Weekend at the Gaylord-12/12-12/13

This weekend we went to the Gaylord at National Harbor with the Grays and Chad's parents and sister's family. First we at brunch with Santa Claus and he indulged in us by letting us take a million different pictures with him! This was one of all the kids. After brunch we checked into our room and got into our snow gear to go to the ICE show. It was so incredible!! Everything was made out of ice! The kids especially loved the ice slide! We didn't end up ice skating because the session times didn't work for us, but we did get to watch "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" while swimming in the pool. The kids thought that was great! We ate pizza and doughnuts in the The Grays room to celebrate Christianna's 6th birthday and we got to watch it "snow" in the atrium from their balcony. It was such a fun weekend and a great new family tradition:o)
