The Sunday after Thanksgiving was our last Branson day. You can read about Day 1 of our Branson trip here and day 2 here.
We typically only stay in Branson for 3 days. We arrive Friday around 1, and then we get up Sunday morning, pack up, clean the condo/house and then we do any last minute shopping and we all head home.
This year, we decided to wait and save our Santa visit for Sunday morning. My mom and sis-in-law had to head out to The Landings anyway, and visiting Santa at The Bass Pro Shop is the best because they give you a free picture. We dressed all of the girls in their matching outfits, and we arrived around 10. Unfortunately, Santa doesn't arrive until noon. I guess he likes to sleep in a bit.
Since we had to wait, we went down to Kirklands for my mom and sis-in-law to buy new lamps. We figured we would go eat afterwards, but by the time they were finished, we only had about an hour to kill so we stayed at The Landings.
I didn't realize we'd be there all morning, so I put Addy in the Ergo and left the stroller in the car. Gretchen took this picture of us.
Unfortunately, Adalyn had another huge blow out and I was left washing and drying the poop off her pants in the bathroom. All because we wanted the girls to be "matching" for their Santa pics. I think she pooped three times before we saw Santa, and the poop ended up on her or me. It was lovely.
We let the girls walk around while we wasted time. I guess we could've shopped some more, but we really didn't have anything else that we needed to buy. And obviously, these little houligan's would've been pretty wild in a store.
Three little messes.
That's my niece with the big girls. Addy was on my back.
I'm pretty sure these sister-cousins are going to get in lots of trouble down the road!
When it was finally time to go see Santa, the line was crazy long! I guess we should've gone down there sooner, but I had no idea that it would be as crowded as it was.
We threw all the girls in a basket in order to keep them confined. Best idea ever. And, yes, I even changed another poopy diaper on our wait. Maybe I should've titled this post, "The Day Adalyn Did Nothing But Poop."
After 20 minutes, we finally saw Santa and did our round of Santa pictures. My three girls, one of all the girls, and then one of just my niece, A.
After Santa, we decided to eat lunch and then the girls and I would head back to Oklahoma, while my mom, sister in law, grandma, and niece headed back to Arkansas.
This pretty much sums up how Gretchen and I felt about our Branson trip being over.
When we got home, our elf had arrived and brought the girls a Gingerbread House to make! He even spelled out "Build Me A Home" with lifesaver gummies, because for some reason, he couldn't find the Christmas candy at the store.
The girls and I had such a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend, and our Branson trip always puts us in the mood for Christmas!
