Nashville

 Ten days after arriving home from Dallas I flew off to Nashville to spend some time with Jake, Steph and th0se little people.  I arrived just in time for Steph's birthday.

On her big day we went to Costco for lunch
...we take birthday celebrations very seriously.
When we arrived home this HUGE poinsettia plant was by the door.
 
  Happy Birthday from their Home Teacher that they hadn't met yet.

Wow...nice Home Teacher!

  For her birthday she wanted the whole family to go to the ICE exhibit .
 And so we did.

It was an the "Night Before Christmas" story done in ice.

 Very fun. Very beautiful and Very cold.   9° F cold.

 

 

 

But the best was at the very end.

 The Nativity done in crystal ice.

 From ICE we walked over to the Gaylord Hotel

 to try to get a family picture in front of the Christmas tree.

But someone was having issue with the camera flash

 or any photography at that point.

T'was the moment...happy memory.

 

 Once the little people were snug in their beds
 we brought out the birthday cheese cake.

Happy 25th Birthday Steph.
