Jessica and I went to Branson, MO to spend Thanksgiving with her family. It was a wonderful weekend that was filled with plenty of food and fun. We stayed at a beautiful seven bedroom home that had a little something for everyone to enjoy.
Inside, there were three main attractions:
1. Pool Table
The family had an absolute blast with the pool table. Every night we had a pool tournament in which the highlight was Grandma's participation. Classic!
2. Beautiful patios with beautiful views.
Sometimes a change in scenery is a good thing and we surely had a beautiful change. Our inclosed patio/balcony was the perfect place to sit, relax, and ponder.
3. Charlie!!!
We just can't get enough of baby Charlie. In case you missed the previous submission, Charlie is the newest member of the family and I think he enjoyed the vacation just as much as we did.
In addition to the beautiful home, we also saw a few shows. All of the performances were good but my favorite was the "Noah's Ark" show. The performance featured real animals along with an amazing set and lighting. But of all the activities, my favorite was the dinner spent as a family. We all gathered around the table to share a wonderful meal and each other's company.
So this leads me to what I am thankful for this year. Most years my "Thankful List" is inspired by material things, and the excitement of having one month left in the school semester. But this year is different... I realized that I have been blessed with not one, but two wonderful families. My father always told me to surround myself with good people and Jessica's family has been nothing but good to me. 27 days until Christmas...
Happy Thanksgiving!

Oh wow! Which one of the Branson hotels or resorts was this you were staying at?
Did you get to see any Branson shows? I hear they have some really worth watching.
