ICE~ "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" at Opryland

I just so happened to win 4 FREE tickets to ICE from the local radio

station last week and thought how perfect to take the kids during

the Christmas holiday break!

We also invited Grandma 'Ranny along too since she was on vacation

from work and was excited to see the Santa Claus Comin' to Town theme.

Of Course Hayden was impressed to see-

Burgermeister Meisterburger from TV!

This was pretty cool with strobe lighting effects inside an ICE block

Here is baby Santa Claus in ICE

aka ICE Slide Room

(she must have been a good girl)

I love how they made the Rainbow out of ICE!

Some of Santa's letters hanging from the ceiling in

his mail reading room. It was pretty all the letters...

I couldn't find mine though! ;-)

The children's parade through town

There goes Santa Claus...bye Santa!

Some really neat ICE houses in the town.

People are really so talented who carve out these sculptures.

When we left the frozen NORTH POLE area, poor 'Lyza Jane

said, 'My toes are frozen Mommy!'

All smiles after Grandma 'Ranny bought them

some cotton candy in the lobby...YUM!

I went for the German Roasted Pecan Nuts~Mmmm.

Below is the video of the kids & 'Ranny sliding at ICE.

Thank-you to the radio station for the FREE tickets that

we were able to enjoy together today!

It was a frozen tundra but very pretty to admire~

Till next year!

Santa brought us a trampoline for Christmas~

The kids have wanted a trampoline for over a year now

but I guess Santa thought it was time! ;-)

They couldn't wait to break it in!!

They were all smiles jumping on their new energy burner!

I love seeing the joy and happiness on my babies faces!

Merry Christmas loves!!

Miss 'Lyza's first dance recital~

Lyza made her first performance debut in her

"Mary Poppins" recital & her dance number was 'SuperCalifragilistic"!

She was front center in the dance number and she was pure talent~

After the performance, she was soo excited about her stage debut!

I think she wanted to dance again & again.

You have a natural talent for the stage and we look forward

to seeing many more stage performances in the future~
