The Chill At Queen Mary

The day after Christmas, my family went to the Queen Mary. They're doing a special winter thing, where you can go sledding, ice skating and look at carved ice. Seemed pretty cool.

 It was so cold inside this room, they gave everyone snow jackets to wear. Everything was carved out of ice, and some of it was even colored. It was pretty neat.

 You could even slide down the ice version of the Queen Mary.

 I bought this yummy dessert for my Mom, but then she just gave it to the kids to share =/

 Katie sure liked it!

 The sleds were fun. We didn't know everything was sold separately. We thought we would be able to do everything, but turns out we only paid to go inside the ice room. We had to pay extra for the kids to go sledding, and we didn't even bother with the ice skating, because that would have been even more money. The kids really enjoyed the sleds though, they went on and on, using all their turns up. (They were given wristbands that let them go on a certain number of times)

It was pretty fun there, I just wish it wasn't so expensive to do the activities offered. The kids had a great time though, and that's what matters!

Thankful For My Life

For Thanksgiving, I spent the day with my family, the thing I am most thankful for. We started off the day at my Grandma's house. Even my Uncle Tony came down this year, that was nice for my Grandma. Katie had fun playing with his two girls, too.

 I'm embarrassed to say, I didn't recognize my cousin Melissa at first! Haha. I thought she was Joe's family or something! Eventually I realized it was her. I haven't seen her in years!

 So happy David came with me =) I'm thankful he's out of the Army!

 I'm thankful for my crazy Grandma, too!

 And most importantly, I'm very thankful for this beautiful blessing God gave me. The light of my life!

 After spending the first half of the day with my family, we headed over to David's family's house.

 Katie discovered Perler beads today, thanks to Annabelle. She liked them a lot!

 My husband is the biggest kid. But at least he's fun! He wrestled and played with the kids, and of course, he was the champion! Katie gave him a good run for his money, jumping all over him though! He did good!
