Guy turned 27 last week (Dec. 10) so we had a little party for him to celebrate. Brayden took it very seriously and wanted him to have a lightning mcqueen party just like he did when he turned 3. Luckily I saved all those decoration so it worked out perfectly!
We made Guy cupcakes and Brayden put all his favorite cars on top of them
Blowing out the candles
YUM
Tyler was in heaven with his cupcake...I have a feeling he will love his 1st birthday!!
After cake, we drove out to the Gaylord Texan hotel for Guy's birthday present! At Christmas time they decorate the hotel with over 1.2 million lights and they have a huge ICE display with 2 million pounds of hand carved ice. Ya, its pretty crazy and we finally decided that we needed to see it! This is the ceiling of the middle of the hotel atrium!
Tyler was in awe of all the lights the whole time! He loved it!
They had a 50 foot rotating Christmas treein the center
And this tree had a miniature train that ran through it. It was pretty cool
Brayden loved the trains and we had to literally pull him away from them
Ty watched them with no expression so I have no clue if he liked them or not. I figure since he wasn't crying, he must have liked them
The boys with the birthday daddy 
Crossing one of the many bridges inside
Brayden was not thrilled about this picture but at least he's looking
Inside Santa's workshop...he even had a cookie conveyor belt!
And the biggest gingerbread house ever!!!
We finally made it over to the ICE display when it was our time to go and they gave us these super warm coats to wear since its 9 degrees in there. Brayden was cracking us up in his coat cause he could hardly move in it!!
Walking in...had to get a backside view
The theme this year was Dr. Suess How the Grinch Stole Christmas and it was all hand carved by 40 artisans from Harbin, China. It was pretty crazy!
One of the best parts was the room with the 20 foot ice slides. Here's BB at the top of the kids one lookin so cool in his coat. haha
This is one side of the ice slide room
BB going down the kids one...he was brave and went down the bigger one too!
This picture is kinda blurry but it was the best I could get of Guy going down while holding Tyler! 
It was pretty fun!!! :)
Brayden going through the little mini door
This was one of my favorites! SO cute!

Guy found his birthday cake and I told him to lick it but he wouldn't
The last room was a full nativity carved out of ice. It was amazing
Tyler was SO ready to go at the end
It was such a fun way to celebrate our favorite guy's birthday!
