blonde moments: Ice! and Our Gingerbread House

G and I had a date night last week and went to The Gaylord Texan to see their Ice! exhibit. Neither of us had ever been but had heard it was a fun thing to see and do. First of all, if you have never been to the Gaylord you must go! I'm a native Dallas girl and I had never been..... I was BLOWN AWAY! The entire hotel was decorated to a T with beautiful Christmas decorations. Not an inch was left untouched! Of course, I didn't get any pictures of the decor but trust me on this one. It was amazing! We were worried that there was going to be a forever long line but luckily we went at just the right time and walked right in!!

We asked a woman to take our picture in front of the ice sculpture that said Madagascar.... you can tell she did a great job of getting the ice.

I tried taking ~~cute~~ funny pictures.... this is the best one (if that tells you how well they all turned out ha!)

At the very end of the exhibit they had a beautiful nativity scene.

A couple nights later we made our gingerbread house. G had bought a kit at the store and neither of us had made one so this was our first gingerbread adventure together!

The kit instructions said we needed cornstarch and sugar and all kinds of other things. I was very confused as to why the kit didn't come with everything we needed..... until we realized it did. Still not sure what all that other stuff they listed was all about?!
