Silver Dollar City









Casey's teacher gave us tickets to go and enjoy Silver Dollar City in Branson before the end of the year. So, the kids skipped school on Friday and we braved the freezing cold temps. Sam was a great sport. He rode with Jill or Casey most of the day acting as the adult. Zach loved Wildfire because it is "awesome." Maggie just thought everything was "so tinsel." (Have you seen Prep and Landing?) Casey was braver than I have ever seen him and let Sam and Zach drag him on any ride he was big enough for. And, Jill just wanted to ride. Sadly, there are not many choices for her, but she did love the frogs. Me, I was just happy the kids helped out so much and decided next time I am wearing warmer socks. The Christmas lights were amazing, but we all decided we wanted to go again in the summer with Ron. Thanks again, Mrs. Cawvey!!

Freezing

my house shivered and I don't like it
25 degrees and feels like 11
missing my warm AZ sun

Smiles because of Jill



Yesterday, Jill climbed up on my lap and said, "Mommmm, you're my best friend," and then gave me a huge hug. Loved it - sooo many thanks to my BFF Jillie.
