fun at The Grand America Hotel

We had a fun night with my family the monday before Christmas in the downtown. We started off with going to dinner at Italian Village and getting some pizza benders. It was Kevin's first time so we had to take action shots of his first bite.







Tyler managed to get a great shot of the both of us...



We then went to see a little Christmas light show in Murray which disappointed. Not worth the wait in line. But we did get to eat gummies while we waited and take cheek-to-cheek pictures.




Then it was off to the The Grand America. We love that place. That is where we had our wedding luncheon before we got hitched. Then we were lucky enough to spend our first night there. Such a beautiful hotel.

For Christmas this year they had a little fun family activity. They had cute decorated windows with clues you had to find in them. They gave you a card at the beginning with the clues on them, then you walked throughout the hotel to the 18 different windows. The incentive to finish was a sugar cookie at the end. We were all so excited for that sugar cookie. We received our sticker of achievement and took it to the bakery, where they preceded to shut the door on us and tell us that they had just ran out. My uncle Corey just about kicked that door open to show them they better bake him a cookie or they would have him to deal with. But then we decided to let our anger out on Tyler by putting our leftover stickers on him without him knowing. Boy was he mad.












We might have spent a little too much time in the cute toy shop at Grand America. That may have had something to do with us loosing out on the cookies. They had the cutest monster section with these animated frames with monsters in them. I felt like I was in the movie Monsters Inc. The toys were so good that I had to drag Kevin out of there.











They also had a huge gingerbread house on display which meant fun fun fun for Hadley. Right when we walked up to it, Hadley continued to crawl under the barriers with the intention of walking right on into it. Kevin was quick to grab her which was lucky since the peppermint stairs didn't look too sturdy. We weren't sure if the glass was candy as well so we dared Tyler to lick it. And he did. And it was candy! It was a true gingerbread house!
