Christmas In July

Yes, we had Christmas in July. Gaylord National Resort invited us (Macaroni Kid & other local mommy bloggers) to a special media preview of 'Shrek The Halls' - their theme for this holiday season. The kids had the most marvelous time. Seriously - I think it rivaled Disney World for them.

They kicked it off with candy canes, Shrek and confetti guns (my personal fave).There was ice sculptures, Santa, characters from Shrek, Christmas decor and food! The kids loved the food. They had all things sweet from snow cones to cotton candy to ice cream to cocoa!

Despite the downpour we headed outside to a tent on the water. Where there was more food... adult food. Which included some of my favorites! Rosa Mexican chips & guac & sangria, Pinkberry, & Chicago style hotdogs. The kids were treated to face painters, magicians, balloon animals and much more!
