We decided to do something different this year for Christmas. Typically we do some variation of Chinese food and movies but this year we went to the Gaylord Hotel at National Harbor for an overnight stay and visit to the ICE exhibit. Check out these fun photos of the character meet and greet from the movies: Shrek, Madagascar, Puss in Boots and Sydney's new favorite-Kung Fu Panda. Olivia is more of a Disney fan and was terrified of the huge Ogre Shrek--but we had a blast at the hotel and fun new activity.
The Ice Exhibit was phenomenal--over 2 million pounds of ice made into sculptures and telling the story of Madagascar. We all had to dress in these large blue parkas since the room was below freezing but it was SOOO cool to see the story brought to life in the form of Ice. Sydney LOVED the ice slide and I regret not taking more pictures-this truly was a work of art.
Shrekfast the next morning was quite an experience with green ogre waffles, a chocolate fountain (yup--the chocolate is green too!), and Shrek, Fiona and Puss in Boots keeping us company. But the cutest little ogre princesses were Sydney and Olivia!
We had a wonderful holiday spending time together and we wish everyone and their families a very Happy Holiday!
