Some pictures of Clayre’s rosy cheeks at the end…we had a lovely time…    

Max… 

And he, the Grinch, carved the roast beast… 

Cindy Lou Who… 

The Grinch’s heart grew three sizes that day. 

Christmas came just the same…  

He took the Roast Beast…  

The Who’s still a snooze…  

Waiting in line for the ice slide (Clayre actually didn’t get to slide because she was too small, but it was really fast!)  We liked the hand rail in the ice. 

Grinchy Claus going down the chimney.  

Clayre & Ken in front of Who-Trees…my favorite.  They were so Seussical.  

Grinchy Claus tying on Max’s antlers… 

Clayre & Ken with the Grinch…he’s getting an idea…an awful idea…

Going to WhoVille… 

This is the first room of ICE…a chilly 9 degrees.

We had to bundle up to get into ICE…

ICE is an exhibit at the Gaylord Texan that is made entirely of ice!!!  This year it was the story How the Grinch Stole Christmas.  And it was awesome!!!  We loved it, even though it was a cool 9 degrees inside. 

The Grinch took our camera and took these pictures with it…hahahaha…even a self portrait…

Breakfast with Grinchy Claus was awesome.  Clayre even seemed to like him…at least better than St. Nick.  The Food was delicious too!  We had eggs benedict, roast beast, who pudding, and there was a green chocolate fountain.  You can see it in the background of Clayre eating green chocolate.

These are pictures from the lobby…it looked like a Vegas Hotel, only cleaner and without creepy sad people…

Today we visited the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine for Breakfast with the Grinch and ICE…these are pictures of the gingerbread house display.  It was awesome.  Clayre loved it and I’m not sure she knew it was made of real cookies & candy…

Clayre somehow squirmmed her way our of Daddy’s hand for a moment.  I somehow caught it on the camera.  The picture below is a zoom in of her face.  She looks so excited to be free.  Actually, she is really good about holding onto our hand.

Christmastime in Grapevine was beautiful.  We had lots of fun strolling the streets.  Clayre enjoyed the antique “robots” and Ken & I enjoyed the historical buildings and watching our little girl have fun!

We ate at a pub in Grapevine before enjoying the lovely Christmas decorations.

Clayre found a new way to play with her bee bop band!

Me & my Mommy posing in front of our beautiful Christmas tree. 

Our sweet girl playing with her Daddy.  She was giving hugs and kisses.

Clayre & I played dress up tonight.  She loved it!  She didn’t love me following her around with a camera though! Oh well, you think she would be used to it by now. 

It snowed this morning at our house.  I quickly got Clayre dressed and put a coat and hat on her so she could play in the snow for a few minutes.  We tried to catch some with her tongue, but finally picked some out of my hair on the way in and tried it.  She liked the snow, but was glad to come back inside where it was warm.

This is a picture of Clayre patting Daddy & Amy on the head.  Look at that concentration.

Amy, Ken, Clayre, & Hollie…Clayre patting Daddy on the head.
