Branson Christmas

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.

Football Merchandise

It's football season and Walmart has all their Razorback merchandise out. I was browsing the aisle the other day and saw these. I immediately thought whiskey! A great way to sneak liquor into the stadium. Of course the back says intended for water only. Yeah right! No one looks at this and says water.

House Exteriors

 I spend most of my free time these days staring at the freaking computer looking for ideas for our house. There is a site Houzz . It's my new addiction. If you haven't ever explored it check it out. You can type in anything dealing with houses and get thousands and thousands of pictures to browse through. I look at EVERYTHING and pin the things I like on Pinterest. This makes it so easy to go back and review favorites. I have several boards dedicated to various rooms and the outside of the house. My focus these days is on the exterior. Hopefully in the next two weeks I will have a house pad and be ready to frame the house. I  know that I want a metal roof (not sure what color), cedar columns, stone, and cedar siding/shingles. not sure about color combination, how much siding or how much stone, and the front porch and walkway (the front yard will be pretty steep). I'm on Spring Break this week so I plan on visiting some lumber yards so I get a closer look at certain materia...
