Big Cedar Lodge

My side of the family went to Branson to Big Cedar Lodge for the weekend after Christmas. The Lodge was beautiful! We have been there before but this was the first time with all 13 of us! We packed up the food and made good use of their kitchen facilities for all of our meals (except our trip to Lamberts- which is a must!) We did some shopping in the pouring down rain but got a chance to relax a bit too.

He'll regret this in a few years!

Christmas

This is the necktie that Jackson picked out for Claudia. He says she is to use it over her eyes so she can be a Power Ranger

Jackson wanted one thing for Christmas- a BB gun! He settled for a "pretend" BB gun that shoots small plastic balls. His reply, "see, I told Santa I wouldn't shoot my eye out!"

Dawson got a "real" bow and arrow
