Santa! Santa!!!!

 We started a tradition in California of riding the Polar Express at the beginning of the Christmas Season. It really is a magical adventure! I was excited to learn there was a North Pole Express just one town over from us here in Ohio. Last Saturday we surprised the kids with a little trip....

Scarlett wasn't too keen on Santa by herself, luckily her big sister was there to protect her.

Kate asked for a bike.  She was getting Allie's hand-me-downs for a while, but now that the girls are the same size she really needs her own.  Sure hope Santa comes through!

Roman says he wants a big Buzz Lightyear.

Allie asked for a Kindle!  She is a reader-extraordinaire, so this could be very useful - but Santa better warn her about not reading after bed time!

Christmas, just isn't Christmas with out Buddy...as soon as the kids are out of school we'll watch The Elf (again!) and eat lots of goodies.  Pics of the Christmas decor are coming soon - this has been a really fun house to decorate!  Merry Christmas!
