Harris House

Despite 75 degree temperatures, Christmas was in full swing in Branson the weekend of November 12th.  We enjoyed Silver Dollar City, shopping and family .  It was a great weekend with the Harris family. We stayed in a beautiful home on Table Rock lake. James and Dawson went fishing both mornings, and Drew and Ellie loved collecting acorns with Grandpa and playing in the leaves with Grandma.

 Saturday we went to Silver Dollar City.  We all enjoyed the lights and festive atmosphere. Drew and Ellie were thrilled to be able to ride two rides. Waiting in line was torture for them, but worth it to experience the thrill of the Happy Frogs and Dancing Caterpillars. So far they are both little adrenaline junkies.

Sunday, we met up with the extended family for brunch at Cracker Barrell.  It was great to catch up with James’ aunts, uncles and cousins and enjoy a little outlet mall shopping. James was in the mood to shop which always makes a day of shopping more fun.

A little music lesson for today.  Ellie is very ready for a nap and her little eyelids are droopy, but she manages to match pitch! (I’m so proud)  Drew is a little musician and loves to sing, dance, and play the drums.  They love this song, because it is full of their favorite words:  hello, goodbye, oh no,and  go, go, go!

This week The Beatles, next week, ????? Any suggestions?

For the record….. Ellie are Drew are both really into playing “be be” (baby) and giving me that bottle to pretend to feed them and rock them. She’s not really drinking out of a bottle- she’d much rather have a Diet Coke with Lime (kidding).  They have also found pacifiers recently and use those to play baby. Too bad she wanted nothing to do with them when I was trying to get her to take one.

Happy Halloween!
