Happy December to you all! :)
I thought I would share the lovely time I had at the Gaylord Texan this past week - since I am a huge fan of Snoopy & the Peanuts gang, my boyfriend took me to see the Charlie Brown Christmas in Ice exhibit.
I never miss an opportunity to get dolled up in new cute winterwear - nevermind that it was 65 degrees outside!
***
My outfit in layers:
***
With the Juicy vest on
...Purchased last year from Yesstyle.com...
***
With the Juicy hood on!
***
Juicy Mittens
***
Close up of the logo button - which decided to fall off and get itself lost *grumble grumble*
***
After getting ripped off with the $12 event parking, we wandered around like lost lambs for at least 20 minutes on foot. My coworker said it was off in a separate tent, I had no idea it was inside the hotel itself!
The complex is HUGE - it sits aside a decently sized lake and has a ton of different hiking/jogging trails.
***
I wanted to model my outfit some more :)
***
The staff did a great job of getting the place jazzed up for the holidays - tons of decorations both inside & out
***
My boyfriend said these were Juniper berries - I had never seen them in person. They look like mini-blueberries to me :)
***
The Gaylord is a string of hotels that features an indoor arboretum - tons of trees, plants, and a little mini-creek that runs throughout
***
Finally found the exhibit - it usually is super busy but since we went on a weekday in the middle of the day, we almost had the whole place to ourselves. :)
They shower you with snow after the film is over!
***
I like how the entrance features yellow & black draping - just like Charlie Brown's classic shirt!
***
It's super cold inside the exhibit tent so they make you put on these parkas that make you look 150 lbs heavier. ;_; So much for dressing cute! I begrudgingly put mine on, but turns out it was quite useful...(9 freaking degrees inside)
***
Very first display was Charlie Brown & SNOOPY! I was so excited ~ Love his giant pile of bones next to the house, all in ICE!
***
Charlie Brown's usual chat w/ Linus on the fence - love the bright colors & the pink fence :)
***
Ice-skating!
***
Peek-a-boo view through an ice wreath
***
Snoopy getting ready to decorate
***
What could be in here?
...
...The Auditorium where the Christmas play took place & a giant ICE SLIDE!
(We rode it, lots of fun - the parka came in handy)
***
Charlie Brown picking out his famous Christmas tree
***
Snoopy's House - First place!
I thought Snoopy would be inside - no such luck :(
***
Singing around the Christmas Tree!
***
Lots of amazing work and pretty neat that it was all done in ice - it went too quickly!
***
Afterwards, we wandered around the hotel - and marveled at how ginormous it was. Lots of decorations, tons of families walking around, and at night the whole place lights up! It smelled like gingerbread everywhere too
***
They used old gun casings for the Chrismtas lights - so very Texan :P
***
The carpet also has a decidedly Texan theme
***
So basically saved you guys $20 USD/person ticket and $12 parking lol. (plane ticket too for those outside of TX) You can thank me later, early Merry Christmas :D
Hope you guys had a great weekend!

Aww you look cute & cozy. I want those mittens! Im celebrating my bday at the Gaylords this coming weekend at the river cantina restaurant. It looks soo lovely inside. I wonder if they do anything for Valentines. I went to the Alice in the Wonderland thing in Sept. Do you know any other good places to go thats nice like this around DFW?

Haha…thanks for saving us the dough and sharing those fun pics! Omg, if that were here I'd totally bring the hubs b/c he loves Peanuts…hee hee. You look like a cute winter bunny in that adorable outfit! Sorry to hear about the button falling off though. I hate it when that happens. Yesstyle always has so much cute stuff! I'm always tempted but I haven't made a purchase from them yet.

Yes, I did try a bite of his venison! It was kinda gamey so I didn't like it very much...lol. (Same reason I don't eat lamb @_@)
