For those of you in the DC area, please take my advice and check out ICE! It is amazing! It is a Christmas themed exhibit where everything is made of ice. The vignettes are spectacular and range from a ten foot slide you can ride to a full, life-sized nativity scene. I will warn you that it is cold - it is basically a self-guided tour through a large tent that is kept at - gulp - nine degrees. They do offer huge, unfashionable parkas as you enter but no gloves so you must bring your own. Trust me - you will need them! Here are some pics....
My friend Rachel and I checking out the gorgeous Gaylord Hotel at National Harbor - the Christmas decorations were amazing!
This is a picture of the castle that doubles as an ice slide!
My photos do not do it justice - it is really amazing!
Now, for something equally amazing - my Christmas decor. I'm happy to have everything up and ready to enjoy my tree every night when I come home.
My cute little tree! This is probably the last year I will be able to use this little guy - I'm running out of space for all my ornaments!
One of my favorite new ornaments!
One of my favorite cheap decor ideas - decorating with cranberries!
