Bundled up with Shelby's hat to keep me warm!

LOL!  I'm clearly annoyed about something here!

Maren and Brendan give Mrs. Claus some notes to tell Santa

Sophia and Leo's turn!


Bentelyville was certainly one of the major highlights of our trip!  The kids spotted it from the highway one evening and after finding out it was open and free, we jumped right on it!  Apparently this light display started in a man's yard but grew so big he needed more room.  Now it is an attraction for everyone, paid for the power company and other various sponsors.  Plus, they give out free cookies, free cocoa, free popcorn, and free marshmallows to roast (and they even had wet wipes!).  It was awesome!  The line for Santa was ridiculously long and it was already kinda cold, so opted for the Mrs.  The kids loved it, and so did I!  After this we headed back to Louise's for dinner and catch up with the Chicago crew who had just arrived!
