Gaylord National Christmas at the Potomac 2017

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year….” After this weekends visit to the Gaylord National, I really can’t get the song out of my head… I am ready for Christmas!

Visiting the Gaylord National was an amazing way to get into the holiday spirit. The resort and convention center were beautifully decorated. This year, the Christmas activities and spirit is magnified with JOY – A Holiday Spectacular Atrium Show. In this musical, the rich harmonies of classic and moderns songs create a musical tapestry that celebrates the JOY of this incredible time of year.

At the beginning of our day, our family experienced brunch – Rudolph’s Holly Jolly Breakfast. Enjoy the company of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Bumble the Abominable Snow Monster, and Clarice. Enjoy a tasty breakfast buffet, play reindeer games and Sing-A-Long with your new friends. Our 13-month old son, would not stop clapping and laughing the entire brunch – and boy did he indulge in an omelet!

After breakfast, we had a lovely visit with Santa – it appears everyone was on the nice list this year! Also enjoyed the Gingerbread Decorating Corner, Build-A-Bear Workshop and Scavenger Hunt, Potomac Express Train and Carousel. This picture isn’t too clear, but this little guy enjoyed his first train ride – toot, toot!

Unfortunately, this year I was unable to participate in my favorite, annual Christmas activity – ICE! I am on bed rest with the twins so I enjoyed it through my family’s eyes.

ICE!—our signature holiday attraction—is back with a new theme in 2017! Experience favorite scenes from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer brought to life in this walk-through winter wonderland carved from more than two million pounds of ice.

ICE! is an indoor winter wonderland featuring:

Walk-through holiday attraction, kept at a chilly 9 degrees
Two million pounds of ice sculptures hand-carved by 35 artisans from Harbin, China. Learn more about The Making of ICE!
Four ice slides
Colorful ice sculptures depict the story of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
A stunning crystal clear ice sculpture scene of the Nativity

Dress warmly, but don’t fret. You are given a Blue Parka for your comfort. We wore our ski hats, ski gloves, wool socks, and scarves with our parka. I even had the girls put their ski coat below their parka. Had to stay warm, 9 degrees is cold!

No Stress Chess and Queen Of Katwe

November 19, 2017 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Amazon, Online Shopping

My girls begged me to play Chess for a long time. I didn’t know how to play. Luckily I had the grandparents teach them but even now they ask me to play with them and I am unable with out their guidance (and then I loose due to my own lack of strategy – wink!)

Anyways, I wish I had seen this game earlier – No Stress Chess. Our family loves family game nights and it would have been perfect! IN fact, it will still be, so it is not off my list.

Pick up No Stress Chess for $11.24 from $17.99 – This has 5 stars for review moms (with almost 2,000 reviews) that is honestly unheard of!

If your kids love Chess too, or you want them to have an interest, take a look at this movie Queen Of Katwe (we love it!)

What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD.
