Branson

After spending time in Neosho, we loaded up and headed to Branson.  Dana and Melanie joined us there.  We went to Silver Dollar City.  This was our 2nd time to do this as a family at Christmas.  Last year, it was just another visit.  It was neat to see everything come full circle.  Asia joined Nana, me, and Melanie in a cooking class while the guys went and checked out the cave.  After class, the kids hung out with me and Luke.  They loved riding the rides and watching the parade.  While watching the parade, I finally got what people say in experiencing Christmas through a child's eyes.  The kids were waving like crazy at the parade people without a care in the world.  They couldn't wait to see Santa either.  We ate pizza at SDC and enjoyed looking at the lights.  We spent the rest of the weekend in Branson enjoying shopping, eating, and seeing Jonah- which everyone loved!
