Daddy's Birthday Weekend!

Trey turned the Big 3-2 this weekend! We headed to Dallas after school on Friday for a little BDay celebration. We got to the hotel in just enough time Friday night so that Maj could swim for about 15 minutes. Saturday morning started with my favorite place...La Madeleine. Then we went to see Santa. This Santa was outside, and he had 2 of his reindeer with him. Maj got his picture made with him, and is hoping Santa comes through with the "Ground Force Drifter!" (It's an electric go cart!)

I thought we were going to get to pet the reindeer, but they stayed in the cages, and didn't come too close to the kids standing around. Of course, Maj wanted to know which of the 2 reindeer those were, and why didn't Santa bring Rudolph with him!?!
Oh Santa, PLEASE bring me the Ground Force Drifter!!!

In the middle of the shopping center, there was a HUGE tree with presents all around it. My child, the climber, had to get on top of them!
Daddy is soooooo funny!
Now, you know I don't leave Dallas without 2 things...La Madeleine, for one, and SPRINKLES, for two!

After the Santa visit, we headed to Grapevine to the Gaylord. I had no clue that ICE at the Gaylord was soooo big! and soooo busy! We got there around 4:30, and had to buy tickets for the 7:30 time slot. So what to do for 2 hours?!? Well, the hotel was packed!!! The hotel has 4 restaurants, but all 4 had an hour wait. So we ate at the deli- it was our only option! Not the nice steak dinner that Trey & I had in mind, but we apparently had not planned the ICE outing very well! Thankfully, we bought the "fast pass" option and didn't have to wait in the huge line to go through the exhibit. I really wonder how long those people had to wait in line?!? (If you ever go, buy the fast pass- well worth it!)

So, they give everyone these blue coats. It is really cold inside!

My silly boys!
They even have an ice slide.

After ICE, we went to SNOW. This was Major's favorite part. It's 6 slides of snow.

After a LONG day, we went back to the hotel. We had to get ready for some football!

Our trip ended with the Dallas Cowboys game! I have been dying to take Major to see the stadium. Bill & Sue got us tickets for our birthdays! (Thanks, Nano & Papaw!) We had great seats and cheered the Cowboys to a win!

We had a great weekend! I am really looking forward to the next 2 weeks off of school, and spending Christmas with my family & friends! Hope everyone has a fantastic Christmas!
