Family Fun Day

Today we had a fun day even through it was a little dreary outside.  We walked around Crown Center and took a couple of pictures.

Then we walked over to Union Station.

The boys love watching all the model trains.

Union Station is always beautiful at Christmas time.

We took our first ride on the Kansas City streetcar.

Dylan was holding on to his sister so he would not fall. He claims he was not hugging her.

Definitely in the Christmas spirit now!!

Thanksgiving/Plaza Lightning Ceremony

We were very thankful to have Thanksgiving dinner at my in-laws and we did not even have to cook! 

But I did make a cidertini for everyone!

Then we enjoyed our first Kansas City Plaza Lighting Ceremony.

They threw so many beach balls out in the crowd and we were getting hit in the head but we were all laughing so much!

Gary Lezak

Jack Sock, Olympian Gold Medalist, flipped the switch. We were so close to a olympic gold medal!! Cass wants to marry him! I approve!!

5,4,3,2,1.....

The lights went on and the fireworks went off.

We had so much fun that we want to do it again!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Dinner, Pool and Darts

Another fun mother/son night! We ate dinner and played pool and darts at Birdies Pub and Grill and laughed so hard that Lorie and I cried!!

We love our boys so much and I am so glad they make us laugh!!

Boyz II Men with the Kansas City Symphony

Tonight our fun night started at Bar Louis with drinks and appetizers.

Boyz II Men

They were awesome!!! 

I just wish it wasn't Sunday night!

Burgers and Ghost Tour

Tonight we tried a new burger place called Dempsey's Burger Pub and the burgers were good but the truffle fries were awesome.  Then we went on a ghost tour at the John Wornall House.

A great night with great friends!!

Branson Weekend

We were so lucky that we had a gorgeous weekend in Branson. 

Our first stop before Branson is always Osceola Cheese. Lots and lots of samples!!

Thursday night we checked into our hotel and headed for dinner at Hook and Ladder Pizza. The menu is on part of a fire truck.

They even had firefighter clothes if you wanted to dress up while eating your pizza.

Friday was a great day at Silver Dollar City!!  Since it was a Friday, no lines for the rides.

 It was a anniversary weekend, so Cass took our picture at the anniversary frame.

They are both are so happy when we are at Silver Dollar City.

Powder Keg...one of their favorite rides.

Getting pumped up for Wildfire.

Cass and I had to make a stop at the Christmas store.

I love all of the fall decorations.

They were trying to re-create a pic from the first time Dylan rode this ride.

We love Silver Dollar City!

Saturday we started off the day at Billy Gail's Cafe. Best breakfast place!!  Michael and I were also celebrating 22 years of marriage.

We have driven by the Hollywood Wax museum lots of times and we finally decided to stop.  We took some fun pictures and had a really good time.

Forest Gump

Channing Tatum

A little playboy bunny fun!

Oh, Michael!

Elvis and Marilyn Monroe

Some "thriller" action

Elvira

Katy Perry

The closest Cass will ever get to Justin Timberlake.

Men in Black

Titanic

At the alter with George Clooney

Then we enjoyed Hannah's House of mirrors. Castle of Chaos was stupid!

We played miniature golf also. Whoops I threw the score card away!

I guess keeping score was a waste of time.

The boys enjoyed doing the extreme go-carts.

Buy one breakfast buffet, get one half price...not bad at all!!

Last night we enjoyed our first country jubilee show in Branson.  

Another Branson trip in the books!!
