A couple weeks ago we had family members come stay with us, and we went to the ICE event at national harbor. They had re-created the entire story of the Grinch in larger than life ice sculptures.
It was only 9 degrees inside, so we had to bundle up in their special parkas before we could enter.
Inside who-ville.
We spent most of the two days leading up to Christmas cooking and getting ready. Every year growing up Henry's Grandma would make homemade tamales, and Henry would get to help. This year we decided to start our own tradition and try to make both the Guatemalan tamales that Henry grew up with, and some Mexican style tamales. They were a lot of work, but worth it.
Yum!
We also made about 20 loaves of banana and Cranberry bread to take to friends and neighbors.
We had a wonderful holiday, and we are looking forward to the new year and all the changes it is going to bring.
We went to Ice too! Wasn't it soo cool?
ReplyDeleteI am happy you put up pictures of our ice adventure, I haven't posted anything in a long time. I was hoping to see an inside shot of the tamales, but they look good. Happy to hear you had a good Christmas at home.
ReplyDeleteChels, I saw your blog post right after I uploaded these pictures! It was a pretty awsome thing to see.
