December 2011 in review (part 1): ICE!

December is always such a busy time of year...but also a very fun time of year. 2011 was no different. The Gaylord Palms Resort in Orlando has a special event called ICE! every year and our family loves to check it out. The theme this year was "Shrek the Halls" and it was super fun.
