Jason and I have been talking about making a trip to Branson since we moved to Little Rock. Since we don't have much longer here, we realized we needed to go now or it wasn't going to happen. So, we headed up there on Thanksgiving Day. We had a great time. Lots of eating, shopping, shows, & Christmas lights. I got in some fantastic Black Friday shopping at the outlet mall. They opened at midnight. I couldn't sleep well, so I went shopping at 4am, and was back in bed at the hotel around 6:15am. No one even noticed I was gone!
We went to 2 Christmas dinner theater shows. The Dixie Stampede was lots of fun. They fed us tons of food while we watched a cute show with trick riders on horses and competing sides. We also saw Christmas on the Trail at the Shepherd of the Hills. It included a chuckwagon dinner while cowboys ang Christmas carols and told Cowboy Christmas stories. We did 2 drive-thru Christmas light displays. Poor Reese fell asleep before we made it into either one, so she missed all the neat lights. Reagan and I even managed to squeeze in an afternoon showing of Tangled. Overall, it was a great trip. Our first real family vacation!
This was Reese's favorite thing to do in our hotel room. Everytime we looked up she had climbed up onto the luggage rack. She used to it to climb on the bathroom counter, to hang out (as pictured), as a bridge to cross from one bed to another, to hang Minnie from, etc. Who knew a luggage rack could be endless fun?

In case you missed it at the top, I added this fun picture again.
I would love to have come cute little caption to go with it, but I'm too tired to work my brain and come up with something. If you've got an idea, feel free to leave it in the comments.

I love that picture..especially because that meant they had something that would fit a 9 month pregnant woman. So cute. Im glad you guys had such a good time. The trip looked like so much fun!
One of our family's vacation traditions was to get these "Olde Tyme" photos taken. We ended up with 7 or 8 through the years from all different places. It is so much fun now to go back and look at them and watch the kids grow up in them!! Maybe you guys can do the same....
What a lovely family you have!!
so much fun! That picture reminds me of the one of us when we went to in Tucson. So fun!!!!
I love the Dixie Stampede!!!!! I've been several times (though, it was much cheaper 5 years ago!). Sounds like you had a great vacation. Branson is a neat town!!
