Rewind to Thanksgiving

This year we had the pleasure of going to Branson for Thanksgiving.  We stayed at Big Cedar Lodge and shared some really great times with Greggy's mom and his brother's family.  Big Cedar is beautiful!  Molly keeps asking if we can go back there for her birthday in February.  :)
Lots of pictures....couldn't narrow it down. 


Ready to road trip!
Almost there...

Our awesome room
Soooo glad to be there and outta the car!!!!!



Beautiful, enormous trees all over the grounds
 Where we stayed...
 The Caroling Cowgirl, the girls loved singing with her while making smores.
My girls!!!!

 Heading to our Thanksgiving Dinner
 Aubi and her Jellie
The biggest Gingerbread House I've ever seen!!!

 Fun times after the meal



 Molly & Layla Lou after a swim

Turtles everywhere!!!







Dinner at the Devil's Pool Restaurant
                             


                      
 Molly begged to ride a pony, so she finally got to, misty weather and all.

 Molly & Festus
   
Aubrey was scared that Festus might look at her wrong, so she insisted we wait in the stables....she is frightened of ALL animals.
Finally, she rode a pony!!!! ;)
Fuddruckers stop for lunch
The New Shanghai Acrobat show was incredible!!!
Ending the trip on a very good note...although it was extremely cold and drizzly, SDC was soooo much fun.  All the Christmas lights were so pretty. 

Heading in to the Cajun Connection Christmas Concert
Love them!!!
 Our kiddos and a few others got to dance on stage, they were SO pumped!!!





While the bigger kids enjoyed some scary rides, Aubrey and I enjoyed the carousel several times.


We had a WONDERFUL trip and were so glad we got to go!  It was over too fast and we can hardly wait to go back!
