Grapevine Christmas Vacation – Day 2

The kids woke up ready to head to the pool….and that’s just what we did. This is Colton’s favorite slide!   Pool monitors ; ) We took a lunch break, and took the kids to the arcade for a while. I think the “grown” men actually had more fun.   Big winners!

Next, some of our cousins from the area stopped by to say hello. Mom and Lyndi with all the kids Mimi with her great-great-niece Next, we headed to the Cub Club and let the kids make a craft and play. Kevin is the Great Wolf Lodge Elf ; )

We went to dinner, then the older kids played MaqiQuest that night. The littles were slap worn out….so were there mommies.

Grapevine Christmas Vacation – Day 1

Mom and Dad gave the kids, grandkids, and mimi a trip to Great Wolf Lodge for part of our Christmas. The kids were super excited and have been looking forward to it for weeks. Before we checked in at Great Wolf, we headed to the Gaylord Hotel to see ICE! It was Charlie Brown theme this year and simply amazing. The whole hotel is just beautiful, and the kids had so much fun looking at all the Christmas decor…especially the trains!   Everything was totally made out of ice…and YES…it was COLD!

Colton

  Raelee Grandmother Colton with Linus and the “blue blankie” We checked in at Great Wolf, and went from freezing…to swimming! Later that evening, the kids put on their matching pjs, and we headed down for snow and story time in the lobby.

It’s snowing in the lobby!  Needless to say…the kids slept very well that night : )

Pinkalicious

Mom, Alisha and I took Raelee and Alyssa to see Pinkalicious the Musical. We started off at the cupcake party with pink cupcakes by Buttercups. They read the girls the story and taught them the dance in the musical. It was cute and the girls had a great time.

The Stocking Were Hung

It’s been a rough week, but the look on the babies faces when you put the Christmas decorations out, just seem to make things better. I have 3 trees this year, then Raelee has as small one in her room. Here is what some of the Johnson house looks like right now. Hopefully we will get the outside done next : )

The “Kids” tree. This tree has all the ornaments the kids make and our family ornament that Grandmother and Pawpaw get us each year. We have one since the first year Brad and I were married.
