The girls school got out for the holidays and we head to the Gaylord for the weekend. We met several other families from Katelyn's class there.

We arrived at the Gaylord and walked around viewing all the decorations they had on display for the holidays. They always do a wonderful job and it is so festive. We immediately saw a couple of Katelyn's friends and got the above picture.

That night we had tickets to go ride the Polar Express train in Grapevine. The girls got to wear pajamas for the ride.
Before going to the Polar Express, we met familes for dinner at the hotel. Here is another classmate of Katelyn's.

When we arrived back to our room, we found these left for us. Nice.

After a good night's sleep, we met more families for breakfast the next morning.

Friends!
Katelyn likes Puss N Boots.

I, personally, always love the nativity scene at the end of the exhibit.
After viewing the ICE exhibit, we had tickets to go tubing on the slides. The girls loved it! Here is Jordan carrying her tube.

Daddy got in on the action too. It was fun.
After sliding, we met some of Katelyn's classmates to make gingerbread houses -- also at the Gaylord.
Our family.
Katelyn decided to make gingerbread men since she already decorated a house last week.
