Thanksgiving 2013

We spent Thanksgiving in Branson, MO this year! It was a much needed getaway and so much fun. Thanks DeeDee and Da for the memories.

There was lots to do for the kiddos...
 Watching the fountain show...
Our cozy cabin was decorated so pretty...
Enjoy the pictures in the next few posts from our trip!

The Branson Express

Tanner is still obsessed with trains so we rode The Branson Express one afternoon.



 It was a lot of fun and was a very long train! The train cars were all decorated for Christmas and the boys loved it. 






 Tanner even talked DeeDee into getting him some snacks during the train ride. Walking from car to car while the train was going was pretty scary, but we made it!

Very pretty views of the Ozarks!

Bass Pro Shop

Thanksgiving night we went to the Bass Pro Shop and the boys had so much fun.
 The train was a hit!
 Watching the fish with Daddy...
 Tanner made an ornament and they colored some fun pictures of trains and Santa!
 Tanner's awesome ornament...
They even got their picture made with Santa. Such fun memories.

Cabin Fun

Our cabin was amazing....Thanks DeeDee and Da!
 The boys loved the screened porch.

 The weather was perfect for outside time!

 DeeDee cooked a lot and kept us all well fed. We had a great Thanksgiving lunch at the cabin.
 Da and the boys kept the squirrels and birds well fed. It was so much fun to watch them on all the feeders.


 So blessed. 
Love this...Gavin was making faces at them!

Tanner's Birthday Dinner

We traveled to Branson on Tanner's birthday. After the long drive, we arrived at the cabin and then headed to Joe's Crab Shack. We had NO wait and it was so yummy. The boys had a great time!
 Gavin loved to watch the waiters and waitresses sing and dance.
 The birthday boy found a new favorite....cheese sticks!

 Everyone sang to Tanner and he was a little shy...love this face!
 Happy 5th Birthday Tanner! We love you!
