Lets say that, as usual, the holidays have been really crazy and really awesome. The boys are getting to the age where not only do they get what is going on, but they really look forward to Christmas. I can't tell you have many times during the 8 different Christmas celebrations we had that Caleb said, "Oh my goodness, This is SO AWESOME!"
One of the many highlights from this year's Christmas was the Polar Express. For those of you who have read the book, but haven't checked out the real thing are missing out. Cooper and Caleb are obsessed with trains and getting to ride a life size train with hot chocolate and rice krispy treats was almost too much for them.
We got there about an hour before it was scheduled to leave and the boys just stood there staring at the big train. They were very concerned it was going to leave without them and didn't like the fact that they couldn't get on, but were really good about waiting. I am really glad that we are getting to an age where they understand when things are flat out of your control no matter how much they want something.
Mommy and her boys!
Daddy and Caleb!
Santa Claus got on the train at the North Pole!
Cooper and his Gran!
The North Pole. You don't get off the train. It just stops and lets Santa on. Some friends of ours rode one of the later trips and said the North Pole is much more impressive when it is dark outside. We opted for the option that would still allow us to get home before bed time.
Special Thanks to Gran and D-Dad for such a special Christmas Treat!
