Thanksgiving in Neosho and Branson 2010

A Branson Thanksgiving- pics are out of order, but oh well....enjoy!

Me and the Hubby at Branson Landings


We parked UP CLOSE- how often can you do that at the Landings???

Me & Luke at White River Fish House

God's handiwork from our hotel window.

It SNOWED Thanksgiving day!!!!

Facebooking, texting, you name it- I was the ONLY one in our family who didn't check facebook while we were gone!

A Birthday boys breakfast- happy 31st birthday Luke!

Silver Dollar City- it was HOT and didn't feel like Christmas at all!!!


Mom & Dad at SDC

Our music video pictures- at least that's what they remind me of- it was Luke's idea!


A Gingerbread family

The hottest Minestrone soup I have EVER tasted!

Our appetizers at the Culinary school- they were delicious!

The Culinary Kitchen

Mom- before she tasted the soup.

Me before I tasted the soup.

In Branson we had a blast. The weather was crazy- it went from 70 degrees at night to a high of 29 the next day! We shopped til we dropped, and ate WAY more than we should have. It even snowed while we were shopping. Mom and Dad were sick most of the time- which was sad for them...but that didn't stop us from having fun! God even displayed a little bit of his handiwork in an awesome sunset we were able to enjoy! Mom and I went to the culinary school at Silver Dollar City, the appetizers were great...the soup, not so much! I took one sip and was coughing from it being SOOO spicy!!! I think she put too much cayenne in it-and we weren't the only ones who didn't finish the soup. Oh well, it was a fun time anyway! It was a great Thanksgiving!

Newtonia Cemetery Trip
I don't enjoy going to the Newtonia Cemetery at all. It gives me the major creeps, but Stuart and Holly had never been there, so why not! We visited the Ritchey Mansion in Newtonia and got an inside tour. That mansion housed the wounded in the civil war- and even did limb removals out the back window. Belle Star, the spy, even stayed there for a short time. It was a neat house, but there is no way I'd live there!

along with Stuart and Luke...that tree was huge!




A Lindley Family and Friends Thanksgiving:
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I think we had about 40 in attendance and we fixed a spread for sure: Turkey, dressing, sweet potato souffle, baked beans, dumplings, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, orange fluff, apple salad, broccoli and rice, veggie tray, corn casserole, rolls, and pies and cheesecake for dessert! Afterward we played the game, Left Right Center, thanks to Aunt Linda. We even played a little Farkle- she is always so nice NOT to bring card games- as I simply do not enjoy them thanks to a lovely game of Phase 10....thanks Aunt JJ 8).



Ma

I was able to give Aunt Thelma a prayer shawl I made. She is such a sweet lady going through a very hard time- it was even more apparent to me why we have this wonderful ministry!!

One of my favorite pics!!!
