1st time with Santa

It was baby's first time seeing Santa. "Get me out of here mommy!" It was so sad and cute at the same time. It was my family's Christmas Party and Santa always seems to show up with gifts for all the kids. We had so much fun! The boys love to play with their cousins and its nice to catch up with my cousins. This is our extended family on my Dad's side. My Dad wasn't able to make it this year. He had his second cancer treatment this week and was so sick on Saturday. I felt so bad. But we made the best of it enjoyed being together. Sorry baby....I hope you will grow to love Santa someday!

The "little" Polar Express

Our friends do this miniature Polar Express every year. This is the third year we have been invited. My kids love it so much! This is now a tradition in our family each year. We get to go and watch the movie "Polar Express" on a big screen in their barn and then we get on their mini train and ride to the North Pole. There we get off and go see Santa in his workshop. After we load back on the train and ride back listening about the real meaning of Christmas. It is amazing! It truly gets us into the Christmas spirit.

"Singing" at the Mall

So big brother is in the choir at school. They got to perform at the Mall today! It was so much fun to go and watch him. He did such a good job. He has an amazing voice......go figure. My mom got to come and watch and she said it reminded her of when she would come to watch us when we were little....ha ha. Daddy was in town and was there too! Yeah!
