On the Polar Express...

What a way to spend Christmas Eve…we'll never forget it, that's for sure. We rode the Polar Express to the North Pole, got to see Santa (and hug him too). We got hot cocoa, cookies, a bell and special treats. It was quite an experience. 

Super excited to get on the train

The Polar Express! 

So much fun

All aboard! 

Got our seats!

Singing Christmas songs

So awesome! 

WE ARE BLESSED! 

We had a very good Christmas. Santa definitely made a stop at our house. Pa & Coco came to visit and share the day with us. Happy Birthday to Jesus. Now, to ring in the new year…

Christmas Fun!

WE ARE DEFINITELY IN THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT! Counting down the days, watching almost every single Christmas special and cartoons that come on, baking and anxiously awaiting Santa's visit. God is good…we are all together, healthy, happy and couldn't ask for anything more. 

This was our creation of an Ugly Christmas sweater…Jake wore it to school

Jake's school had a 'Back to the future' day. Each classroom had a different theme. Jake's class was Egypt. They had a parade and even did a dance to the song, "Walk like an Egyptian". It was very cute.

We got to go through all the classrooms…here's Sophie visiting the Saloon
