Thanksgiving Week 2010

We had a busy busy Thanksgiving break!

On Wednesday, we kicked things off with a trip to The Gaylord Texan Hotel to check out their ICE exhibit! We had a fun time, but I think Rhett was a little young to enjoy the talent of the ice sculptors. But, he was not too young to enjoy the Christmas train displays throughout the hotel. However, those were free, so we could have achieved the same outcome by just visiting the hotel and looking at the trains!
Rhett and Dida in line:




Beautiful displays everywhere

Dida and her boy!

I love toy soldiers and this Texas-themed one was HUGE!

This year's ICE exhibit was Charlie Brown themed.
These sculptors sure are amazingly talented!
Close to the end, there is a big ice slide for everyone to go down. As you can see, Rhett didn't make it very far!

And he just laid there, as if he were frozen to the ice!

An employee with special shoes had to climb up the front of the slide to save him!


On sturdy ground once again! I could not stop laughing!


Rhett was dressed in so many layers, he lost his eyes!

This was a cool ice tunnel that we walked through:

Just beautiful!


On Thursday, we went to my SIL's house for Thanksgiving with both of our families. Rhett had an accident, so he went pants-less the rest of the day. He didn't seem to care, though:

He enjoyed looking at trucks on the Internet and drinking his apple cider. I thought he looked like a little business man here:




And, we ended our Thanksgiving weekend by picking up our first real Christmas tree! I am so excited to try out a real tree, but find myself at a loss for how to decorate it.
Rhett was very excited about it though!

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Now, bring on Christmas!

Rhett's First Turkey Day


We enjoyed a busy Thanksgiving with both of our families and I would say that Rhett's first Thanksgiving was a success. He looked like such a big boy in his special outfit. (Purchased before he was born and intended as an Easter outfit... who knew he'd be so big!:))
I am soooo very thankful for my little boy. I have never felt more blessed in my entire life. I remember how scared I was just before Rhett's birth. And, now he is here and I cannot imagine my life without him!
