Branson 2012

For those of you that knows us, knows we are creatures of habit. Rarely do we do anything out of the ordinary. For the past 5 years we have went to Branson during Thanksgiving/Christmas holidays. This year we didn't get to go to Silver Dollar City because they were closed on Monday. So we just played some putt putt golf and did some walking around the Branson Landing. Oh and we saw Santa! We always stay at these log cabins which secretly make me wish I had one. It was a low key vacation before the hectic holidays get here. Here are some of the pictures from our stay.

 These next ones were taken at a playground in Branson. I think catching your kids playing are some of the best photos. And if the light isn't perfect just make them black and white!

Boys don't like pictures!

 

Well my 2 boys informed me today that they absolutely hate having their pictures taken. Really? They have had a camera shoved in their faces since they were born. I tried my best to get the best Christmas card picture today but it was a battle. Case's eyes burned from the flash and Caden's smile got tired. They were cold, they had to pee and so on and so on. I got 2 maybe 3 so-so shots. But with those I got my Christmas cards ordered people! I am on a roll. Haha!

 

Halloween 2012

Trick or Treating 2012 went great. We had grilled hot dogs, cheese dip and yummy cupcakes before heading out on a hay ride to rack up on some candy.

Please meet Mario, Princess Peach and Luigi

 And the pink poodle!

 Luigi and Mario ready for some candy!

 Trick or Treat smell my feet!!

 Getting a little tired AGAIN. Ha we just can't hang with the party!

 Luigi

 More candy!

Of course Mario didn't make it home awake. He passed out as soon as we left town. But as soon as we got home the request for candy started. They each got to enjoy one piece and then baths and off to sleepy time! Whew I was tired from all that trick or treating but they had a blast. I wonder what our costumes will be next year?
