This year Luke's family wanted to do something a little different for Christmas. Family time away from distractions and away from Morrilton. We decided Branson would be perfect! Amber did an amazing job planning everything! We stayed in a 3 bedroom condo right on the lake and she even brought a Christmas tree for everyone to sit around to open presents! We were also able to take the kiddos for lots of "Firsts" which I love!! We went to the Polar Express, Dixie Stampede, and Silver Dollar City!! Overall it was a great time! We were busy, busy, busy but then again isn't Christmas always busy?!?!
Saturday night was Polar Express and Braxton was soooo excited to ride on a real choo choo train! He was so happy the whole time and loved meeting Santa!! I still get to listen to the bell that Santa gave him ringing all the time.
On Sunday we went to church followed with naps and then Silver Dollar City. I hate to admit it but SDC was WAY overcrowded! The lights were beautiful and the parade was fun but it was so difficult to get anywhere and it was COLD!!! We were able to watch the Frosty the Snowman play which the boys loved and Braxton got to the ride the train which made his night. (Sadly I left my camera at home....I have to get pictures from Amber and then I will add)
Monday morning was Christmas in the Hill condo! We all hung out in pajamas to open gifts and watch the kiddos play.
Monday night was spent at the Dixie Stampede which is a dream come true for any little boy! Lots of horses, lots of noise, and a big messy dinner! Braxton was glued to the arena except when the horses were jumping through fire which made him nervous!!
On Tuesday on our way out of town, we decided to give SDC another try during the day with the intentions of letting the kiddos ride on some rides. Well off course you needed to be 36-inches tall and Braxton was only 35.25-inches tall. I wish that I would have put his cowboy boots on him and he totally would have had it! Nonetheless, he was able to ride a few rides which he loved and he was able to watch Jagger ride some BIG stuff which he thought was pretty cool!!
