Holiday Fun at the Gaylord Texan

The Gaylord wasn't quite the same this year as Grandma and Grandpa weren't with us but we still had fun!

Waiting in line for ICE wasn't that fun though.

ICE's theme this year is Shrek the Halls. This is at the beginning of the exhibit when the kids weren't frozen and still smiling. All of the figures are carved out of solid ice blocks!

Decorating our gingerbread people:

This is at the end of Shrek the Halls. Freezing and not enjoying ourselves any more!

We met Gingy!

Chloe's Class Holiday Party

Fall at the Arboretum

Great Aunt Shirley is in town for a visit and we enjoyed the beautiful weather today at the Arboretum. Chloe was all about having her picture taken...Parker was not!

First Day of School

Parker's first day of pre-K!

This big girl is officially a first-grader!

Chloe and Parker's Picture Taking

The kids obviously got a hold of the camera.

At least they aren't taking pictures of the floor or furniture, which is what I ususally find on the camera.

Lovin' the self portraits

Tried to get Beau in this one!

Pimped Out

Ray just got done making our golf cart the official Nebraska cart of the neighborhood. I think he's pretty proud. Now if he can just get the turn signals to work!

Cabo!

I was lucky to tag along with Ray to a work conference in Cabo San Lucas for a few days. His mom came to stay with the kids and I'm not sure who had more fun!

Cabo is absolutely amazing. The water is beautifully clear but more blue than that of Cancun. The rocks are treacherous though - I have a large cut on my foot to prove it! You could see really colorful fish swimming right up to the beach.

I went shopping with some other wives on Monday and we stopped at Senior Frog's for lunch.

This is the view from our 5th floor hotel room. Magnificent!
