My mom decided she wanted to get away for Christmas this year. It's the first Christmas without my grandmother and it has been hard on everyone. My brother, his finance, and her son went with us to Branson. Mom wanted to go see the lights at Silver Dollar City and shop the outlet malls.
We left out early Tuesday morning and arrived around 1:00. We changed into very warm clothes and headed to Silver Dollar City. We had just enough time to ride a few roller coasters before the Christmas Tree lighting and parade.
I've not rider a roller coaster in years. I look terrified, but it was a blast!

Everything was lit up. It was beautiful!
Drinking hot chocolate and watching the tree lighting. They told the Christmas story right before lighting the tree.
These were my favorite trees. They had these really neat icicles that lit up hanging all over them.
The Rudolf Parade was pretty short, but the floats we amazing!
I loved these snow globe outfits.
When we left Silver Dollar City, we drove through the Trail of lights. Honestly it was not worth the $12 a person they charged. There were a few really nice displays, but some were missing lots of lights. One display the n and t in santa didn't even show up.
This was a cute beachy display.

We woke up Christmas Eve morning and had breakfast and opened presents. Mom decided she did want to be home Christmas morning, so ewe loaded everything up. Kev and I did stay and shop the outlet malls. We got home about 9:00 that night. It was fun to get away for the night.
