Check out the mini Brandts geared up and ready for the Snow!
Since we didn't take a trip to the Mountains for fall break, we planned to take a trip over Christmas break. The kids REALLY wanted to see snow, but judging by the weather forecast it looked like we were going to have to drive well into North Carolina to POSSIBLY catch a decent amount. We're talking like a 12 hour drive. If you've never traveled with small kids...maybe this doesn't sound so bad, but I know these Branditos....and believe me...it would be dreadful for all parties involved. I quickly began looking for an alternate plan and stumbled upon Stone Mountain's Snow Mountain. We had actually considered doing this on our last mountain adventure but I got sick and we had to come home early.
I was a little nervous as to how entertaining it would be as I didn't know anyone who'd been and for all of us go to, it was pretty pricey...but it met and totally exceeded all my expectations. We did the Christmas Combo so we got to do the Christmas Exhibits too. We got to play in the snow, make smores, sip hot chocolate, watch shows, go snow tubing, watch The Polar Express in 4D, sang Christmas carols on the train & so much more. We spent the majority of the day at the park and I think there were 4 or 5 things that we didn't get to do. We will definitely be going back next year on fall break...the Christmas stuff would have been WAAAYY more impressive before Christmas passed. LOL. I can't wait to go back.
I had to fight the urge to throw snowballs...at strangers...

The snow was fake, but the temperatures were not! It was in the 20's and windy. So cold.

The girls and John were chosen to be part of one of the shows at the Park as well. It's not a very good angle, but here's a video. They pretty much stole the show...
The girls had their church Christmas Program this weekend. They performed at both morning services and were equally amazing each time around! They've been practicing for the mast few months, and all their hard work most definitely paid off.
Check out these AWESOME mid terms!! All A'for Annabelle and A/B's for Gavin and Heaven!!! Dang these kids are smart! Clearly I'm wearing off in them.....
