Gaylord Texan Resort Prepares to Open Grandest Holiday Event in Texas

I am so excited my favorite time of the year is right around the corner and I am busy filling my calendar with events I would like to attend with my family.

At the top of my list is Gaylord Texan Resort ICE!® featuring “A Charlie Brown Christmas” . I have been to this event several times in the past but I haven’t ever been to see a “A Charlie Brown Christmas” which is the one event I wanted to see.

Because I have my own Charlie Brown and before Charlie gets too old and refuses to go with me I wanted to bring him and get pictures of him with Charlie Brown and Snoopy.

With David working full time again and me making money with my blog I am praying we might even be able to spend at least one night here and partake in some of the events with Charlie because in the past when we had the opportunity to stare our finances wouldn’t let us.

God knows our needs and our wishes and I believe this is the year Charlie, David and I will be able to spend at least one night here and leave all of our worries at home and rest and relax while creating new memories with our family.
