I wanted to do something special together as a family as part of the kids' Christmas this year, so Will and I booked the Gaylord Opryland Resort for some good family fun.  We loaded everyone up in the car on Thursday and told the kids where we were headed after we were on our way.  We arrived late afternoon, and Mimi and Grandy met up with us for pizza in the resort atrium.  The resort was decorated so pretty with lights everywhere, and Christmas music filled the air.  We went ice skating, and we had the best time!  Everyone got out on the ice, even Hannah, who was a little hesitant.  The "Littles" rode on a polar bear seat that we pushed around.  Weston and Connor braved the ice skating rink without skating aids, and they did really well.  Will and I had a blast pushing the kids as fast as we could around the rink.  We also formed a train as we skated around in a line with hands on each other's hips. The next day, we went to the Cirque Dreams Holidaze show at the Grand Old Opry.  We also took a ride on the Delta Riverboat Cruise that winds through the Opryland Resort.  We left to come home today, so we could be home on Christmas Eve.  The kids have already said that they want to come back again next year!
