Charlie Brown ICE!!

One of my favorite Holiday Traditions we've started is going to the ICE! showcase at Gaylord Opryland Resort. Last year was The Grinch, this year was Charlie Brown. It was exactly like the movie and reminded me so much of my childhood. Very nostalgic.

I made sure and planned ahead this time. We were all wearing our warm coat, beanies, gloves and scarves. Soooo much better than last year! Ian was all bundled up he was awake for about the first 5 minutes and then slept through the entire show.

Isn't he so cute all bundled up?

Inside the building was 6 degrees. Yes. We paid lots of money to walk around INSIDE a building where it was only 6 degrees. Sounds crazy huh? It was actually quite beautiful. It had all of the scenes you remember: The sad little tree, the piano playing Schroder, Linus and his blanket, the singing while holding hands, the stage. All the main scenes from the movie. Those were my favorite.

The boys and Charlie Brown's Christmas Tree

While I enjoyed the artistic side of things, the boys enjoyed the ice slides.

Brennan and Dylan walked around and talked about the movie and what parts they remembered while Nolan was just in awe of the colors and decorations. He had to touch everything and tried to get into the scenes.

While we didn't get to meet Charlie Brown because we went on a weekday, we still really enjoyed the Ice Carvings. And just like last year, my absolute favorite part was the Nativity at the end. Can you imagine the amount of ice needed to make something so spectacular?
