Mark decided that part of our Christmas & MY Birthday would be that we would go down to Pigeon Forge to see the Christmas Lights and go to Dollywood!!! We LOVE Dollywood!!!
Mark had a class that lasted until 12:00 noon on Thursday and on the way home, he had to respond to a house fire, so that left us leaving a bit late (2:45pm), but we did get to Dollywood at 5:15, and they didn't close until 9:00, so we had a few hours to wander around! :o)
This is us riding the tram to the main gate! It was CHILLY, but we were all bundeled up so it wasn't so bad!!!
Creston's FAVORITE movie (The Polar Express)!!! It was a motion ride!!! He liked it, then didn't, then did!! (I think it scared him a bit, but he seemed excited that he got to go on it!!)
Mark finally figured out how to get the lights to show up in our pictures! Dollywood gets decorated up soooo pretty at Christmas!
We got to see their "Light Parade". It was really cute!!
Therrrrrrrreeeee's Santa!!!
The tree in the main fountain...
The boys got a light whirly-gig after the parade! (and then promptly BROKE them!) Figures!!
Creston wanted to ride the carousel! 
We all rode this time! Mackie is getting bigger so now he can do stuff without us needing to hang on to him every second!! Kinda nice!!
Tickled Pink!
Yeeeeeee Haw!!!
My cold men!!!
Aggravated mommy! Mackie didn't want to sit still!!
Look at that snowman and that purple tree!!!! I'd hate to be the ones to put those lights on!!!
Soooooooooooo pretty!!!
We didn't have the time to stop and see any of the shows since we got there so late, but Mark wheeled us into this particular area around 8:20 and sat down.....
Beneath THIS Heater!!!!
It was so nice and warm that we sat there for a few minutes...then I looked at my schedule and saw that there was going to be another preformance of the Nativity story at 8:30!!! It would last 20 minutes!!! Perfect timing!!! AND we were warm too! The boys loved watching it and sat there really well during the play! 
It was a really sweet little performance! I'm so glad that we got to see that one!!
THIS is the little Cchurch that sits on the Dollywood property. It was soo beautiful with all of the lights on it!
This was the nativity that sat out in front of the Church...sooo pretty! I wish we had something like that...
The inside of the Church was incredible! These pictures don't do the decorations justice! 
As we left, I had the boys stand up in front of that big tree in the main fountain! Wish the tree would have shown up more, but that's o.k.!!
Mackie was chilly!!!
I'm sooooooooooooo glad that we got to go this year! We had planned on going last year, but then I got fired so we axed those plans! I'd really like to make it a family tradition that we go every year, even if it IS for only 1 night!!! It was really nice! We had to jump and run, though this morning due to the impending snow storm that was coming! Earliest that we've ever left Pigeon Forge!!!
