Let’s get right to it…my favorite part of Dollywood- the chicken pot pie in a bread cone – haha!!!

Pair the pot pie with a Christmas limeade and you have theme park perfection 🙂

Skye was sick with a bad cold this day, so we split up…Wes, Wil, and Kayla went on roller coasters the whole time, Skye and I shopped a little and then went to the Christmas shows where we could sit down in the warmth. Dave divided his time between the two groups

The ROCKLAND family band was such a sweet family of singers. I loved meeting them. We heard a lot of fun and pretty Christmas music.

so pretty….

And again in the dark.

Dollywood was so festive and pretty. This post doesn’t do it justice, Skye and I didn’t see the whole park because she wasn’t feeling well, and the others were mostly in line for the rides the whole day…but it’s a very fun place, and it was sweet how often they talked about the true meaning of Christmas in the plays and shows.

Our last day…we shopped around downtown Gatlinburg…the only bear we saw was this large wooden one

We’d been waiting for this! Our spectacular pancake breakfast! My crepes with ricotta and berries were amazing from the Pancake Pantry.

We loved shopping the little souvenir shops. It was a fun day.

Goodbye Gatlinburg!

And to all a good night 😉
