The Polar Express!

Carson and Kylie's favorite movie (right now) is the Polar express. They watch it over, and over, and over. I think it is a great movie too. We booked a ride on the thunder mountain rail line. Carson was just in heaven from the moment we pulled up. He LOVES trains. Kylie was pretty excited to meet Santa. They did not like him at all last year ( we weren't even able to get a picture). I was looking forward to seeing them and Santa all with smiles on their faces for a change! It was a wonderful day. My parents came with us, and we all enjoyed it. Carson even let my dad wear his little hat for a while. There were Christmas carolers on the train, and elves. The elves were hilarious. They would ask the kids if they were going to see Santa for business or pleasure. One girl told the elf she wanted a baby, and he said " well you are going to have to talk to your parents about that one". It was really cute. Here we are with Santa. Kylie told him she wanted a baby, a rocking chair, and a doll house. Carson told him he wanted a workbench. Lexi is not too picky this year! Thankfully Santa' s helpers are on the right track so far=0) This Santa was awesome.......real hair and all!

When we got to the North Pole there was milk and cookies to eat while we waited to see the big man!
It was the perfect day at the North Pole, with lots 0f snow!
On the way back, Santa surprised the kids on the train. Kylie yelled out "Grandpa...santa is on the train!" and then she giggled really loud. Everyone around us was laughing. It was soo cute.
Santa came by Kyle and said that he had been naughty this year. I wonder if I should be worried. ha.ha.
We loved the Polar Express!!!!
Then last night we had some new friends over to decorate sugar cookies. The kids loved it. They turned out pretty cute.
These are Kylie and Carson's cookies. I think one bite into these would cause a cavity=)
And here are some that were a little more nutritious! The kids love having little friends over to play. Kylie plays so hard, that she forgets to use the bathroom. She went through 3 pairs of jammies last night....that is how much fun she had!
Kyle was doing a great job working as the cleanup crew, while the rest of us made a mess. What a great guy!
