ICE!!!!

Mom and I decided to brave ICE again this year.  Last year, we went over Thanksgiving break and it was rather miserable. Super crowded, Harper cried the whole time AND we got the flu (mom and I did). We sound rather crazy to try again, but I thought it could be fun if it wasn’t crowded.  Hudson had an early release from school one Friday, so that was the day!

 

We were bundled up as much as we could be:

There was NO ONE there!  (And word to the wise: get your flu shot before you go. I asked how often they clean the parkas and the answer was “every 3 days I think”. ick.). And these pictures are a little out of order but my computer is so slow, I am just leaving them:

After the Nutcracker themed area, there was an awesome NYC display. Made me miss my favorite city in the world:

   

At the end is the beautiful nativity scene. Love this picture of my sweet boy honoring baby Jesus:

We took some time to check out the beautiful Christmas display afterwards:

Such a fun time!  We will definitely do it again next year!
