Christmas Fun at Big Cedar Lodge

We spent December 18th-22nd at Big Cedar Lodge near Branson.  We love to go there before Christmas; it is so beautiful and it really gets us in the Christmas spirit.  Santa's elf came to visit the kids one night; they played games and read stories before the elf tucked them into bed.  We even had a Christmas tree in our cabin, and the next morning the kids awoke to find presents under the tree!  They had so much fun swimming in the indoor pool and, since the weather was nice, they were also able to play on the playground.  The boys loved running around on the deck of our cabin--their very own fenced in play area!  :)  We watched movies, ate cookies, and drank hot chocolate every night.  Such a nice, relaxing time!!

The elf's name was "Snowflake."

Preston and Parker weren't too sure about being tucked into bed...

They found presents the next morning!

"You can't catch us!!"

The girls cooperated, but the boys weren't too excited about having their pictures taken!
