In November, we went to Branson to see the Christmas lights. It was a lot of fun, but very cold that extended weekend. We went to Dixie Stampede, the outlet mall, and of course Silver Dollar City. We also spent the afternoon with my aunt and cousins for a pre-Thanksgiving dinner.
Me and my cousin Michelle. We're the same age and had so much fun growing up together. Lots of giggles and playing.
Lucy decided she would be really cute by sitting up.
Jackson had fun playing with the bigger kids - Landon and Grace are 10 and 11, but played so good with him. He even petted the dogs!
Making paper airplanes with cousins.
Sweet Lucy in her turban and boots.
The first night we were there, we went to Dixie Stampede. It was OK, but Jackson was probably not old enough to truly appreciate the experience.
On Friday, we went to Silver Dollar City. I have lots of good memories from here, and I'm excited to share this tradition with Jackson.
Mimi was the first person to get to ride with him. It was hilarious to watch.
Then I rode the butterfly. It was not comfortable, but I did it. We were also afraid the temperatures were going to drop below 32 and they would shut down the rides.
Daddy got a turn on the elephants.
We watched Frosty the Snowman...in the freezing cold.
By the time we made it to Santa's village, it was around 6-7 p.m., and people were clearing out of the park. It could be because it was bad cold, but there was no lines in waiting for Santa. I couldn't believe that he actually sat on his lap and smiled for the camera.
Lucy thought the elf was funny.
But Santa, not so much.
We attempted family photos, and I think they turned out pretty good. There was some ridiculiousness going on behind the camera though.
Cousins - Lucy was 5 months, and Jackson was almost 3 1\2.
Can't wait to go back to Branson when the weather is warmer!
