All bundled up, look at the snow!!

Can I just tell you that I love the Polar Express!! I think I love it more than my children do. This year for my birthday I asked Jason "the only thing I want is to take my kids to the Polar Express." I have such a great husband. I booked everything and off we went to the Polar Express. The whole day and night it snowed and snowed and snowed and snowed!!! It was Awesome. The last couple of years that we have gone it never snowed. It made it so fun for everyone (minus the 30mph wind chills). Once we got to our hotel went swimming, took a hot, hot bath, ate and had hot chocolate. Then we headed off into the storm to catch a train to see Santa. Just to see the excitement on your kids face when we get to the "North Pole" is priceless. It was worth every penny.

Christmas Berry Brunch

All the Girls

For the past 3 years my sisters, mom and my moms sister and her daughters do this thing called "Berry Brunch." We get dressed up in our Christmas dresses and go to the Landmark and have brunch (more like a late lunch) and then Santa comes and gives gifts to all the little girls. The girls love it every year and remember ( at least Ashlynn does). Each year though I have a child who is not quite sure about Santa and this year the lucky winner was Brinnley. The minute Santa came into the room she high tailed it under the table. It was hilarious!! Luckily Papa was their to save her. Eventually when Santa started passing out the gifts she loosened up and sat on his lap. It's a great tradition and I hope we keep it up. Thanks MOM!!
