ICE! and SNOW!

Last weekend we went to see ICE! and SNOW! at the Gaylord Palms resort. They put this on every year but I had never been, and Garth obviously had not either. So we went with my long time friend Brittany and her boyfriend this past friday night. They bring in 4 tons of ice for this thing and its about a 15-20 min walkthrough of the different rooms and themes built out of ice. Everything is made from ice. They even make a slide out of ice where the stairs are frozen as well. Its a balmy 9 degrees in there so they provide you with a parka. The SNOW portion is a room full of snow with a tobogan run on a inner tube. Not as cool for some our age but for kids they can play in the snow and build snowmen. Quite the treat for floridians who rarely get the real thing.

We're getting a house!

We put in an offer on a house on Monday and finally have heard back that they accepted it! We really like it. It has wood floors throughout, a fenced in back yard, lake view and nice neighborhood. Its 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, 2 car garage, 1850 sq ft. The dining room has wainscotting already so one less honey do project for Garth, haha. It also has the formal living room so we can still have our library. Theres a little bit of paint color changing to do but thats easy enough. We should close in mid february as we have a few weeks left until Jeff closes on our home in AL.

Christmas spirit

We went and saw The Singing Christmas Trees at our church this weekend. Its such a cool production.
We also went to Unviersal and watched the Macy's Parade.

Garth and I took my cousin Georgia to Universal Studios this past weekend. She had a blast on the carasousel! We saw Harry Potter land for the first time and went to the Grinchmas (below) show.
