ICE ICE BABY!

We went to Charlie Brown Ice at nashville. This is the second time we are going and first time for AJ. Ice is nothing but ice sculptures maintained at 6F...FREEEEEZING Cold...and we never learn from our mistakes..Both B and Ashu forgot their gloves. I gave my gloves to ashu and the kids were just fine. AJ was cranky because he slept in the car and we woke him and he was hungry too. I forgot to take snacks with me. He did not cooperate for snaps, but enjoyed the slide inside. It was made out of ice too and they both didnt want to come from there. i was freezing to death and i was getting really mad. Finally we had to drag aj out of there and i was wondering if i had to thaw their butts in microwave after all the sliding :)

We bought some shortbread cookies on the gift shop and ran outside as fast as we can. BRRR!

Christmas
========

This is the first christmas for AJ as we were in india last two years. We started buying gifts for christmas after Ashwin's birth as we did not want him to miss the festivity here. We even bought a kutty tree when he was three. He likes hanging the mini ornaments in it :) This time AJ helped too. I packed the gifts after they went to sleep and they were quite excited in the morning. I bet ashu was only pretending because he knew about each and every gift we got for him :-) I did not have time to get some surprise gift for him..also, i did not want to as the house is overwhelmed with toys already. AJ was truly excited. Even though he was with us when bought the toys he did not pay attention to any of it as he was busy with some knickknack. Next year, Ashu wants a big tree. This year was so hectic that we did not put any lights outside and Ashu said our house did not look pretty. Whatever! :) Seriously, our house looked so pathetic in our neighbourhood. but, ours was not alone..so that gave some consolation :D
