During our Weekend to Remember we stayed the Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort in San Antonio. The hotel was beautiful and nestled in rolling hills. They have a beautiful golf course and lots of activities. The hotel was immaculately decorated for the holiday with themed Christmas trees throughout. I loved the tree that had all different Nutcracker ornaments. I also like the white tree with all white ornaments. However, I was most enamored with a GIGANTIC gingerbread display. All weekend when we'd walk past it from our rooms to the conference I'd remind Chris "We have to get a picture of that." Sadly we only had our camera phones so the detail of the pictures isn't that great. However, almost everything you can see with the exception of the characters is edible. The oven you can see both in the top and third pictures is made of square pretzels. The oven door is covered in Hershey kisses for the "stainless" look. The book is all icing and the round balls you see on top are jaw breakers. The presents the elf is working on are cakes. The snowman behind my head is a giant gingerbread cookie snowman. There is icing on the fence post enclosing this thing that I wanted to lick! They used gumballs, licorice, skittles, cotton candy(for the smoke in the chimney) and more. I am so sad that both my words and the pictures don't do this lovely display any justice! The chef at the Hyatt responsible for this creation began working on it in August.
