Wonderland of Lights

This past weekend we had the pleasure of going to Marshall Texas: Wonderland of Lights with the Salinas' as well as mom. Best part, it was mom's treat!

Mom, Brady, Jayden & I loaded up the car Thursday evening and headed down there, because the weather was supposed to be nasty Friday (the actual day we were to leave originally) and I'm thankful that we did because pretty much everyone in DFW was iced in on Friday. Christine, Pete & the kids waited until Friday to come. They didn't get there until like 5 something because of bathroom breaks and changing a tire....the devil sure was trying to ruin the weekend, but we defeated him ONCE AGAIN!!

Friday night we celebrated Noelle's 3rd Birthday with pizza, cake and presents.

I think it's safe to say she had a good early birthday!!

Saturday was our day of fun!! We went downtown around 11 and slowly waited for things to open.

Ball Pit Fun

Piling on Santa's lap---good thing he wasn't a real dude, cause he wouldn't be smiling anymore lol

Christine was reading the historical marker like daddy used to!

Pete & mom making sandwiches!

Brason ice skating!!

My handsome Hubbers didn't fall once! Show off ;-p

Poor Aiden's skates were too big!

Landon & Paige

We ended our evening with a Double Decker Bus Tour of the little town. We got to see all sorts of lights and homes! This was a huge set up of the word "BELIEVE". When I say huge, I mean, HHHUUUGGGEEE!! LOL 

 Sunday, checkout was supposed to be at 11, but the clerk at the front desk extended our stay until noon (how sweet of her--she probably knew we were going back to Dallas) So during the time that we had, we decorated Gingerbread Men. Big 'ol Gingerbread men! We paired up and had a blast!

Mom was supposed to be my partner, but she took pictures instead.

Christian & Aiden teamed up!

Christine & Noelle teamed up and made a gingerbread girl in her tankini LOL

Paige has a partner too...Jayden, but the only thing he wanted to do was eat the icing! lol

Landon & Brason had a TON of candy on there man!

Pete & Brady teamed up and were such good sports! That's why we love both of them!!

We left our men & women in the room for the cleaning ladies to enjoy :) I wonder if they threw them away or if they snagged a bite of two?

Overall, I think we all thoroughly enjoyed our weekend! Thank you again, mom!
