Leading up to Christmas Morning.......

The second weekend in December we head to my Aunt's house for our Christmas Sing-along! Such a neat tradition. I just love it. As a child I could not wait for the sing-along and now my kids get to enjoy it like I did. We all bring yummy appetizers, sing Christmas carols, Santa makes a visit and we listen to a Christmas story...read by my Mom. It is just great.
We have had two wonderful Christmas' already. Last weekend my brother's and their families as well as my parents came to our house for our Christmas celebration. It was loads of fun. We made reindeer plaques with the kids hands and foot prints. They turned out adorable, we ate, went and saw Rudolph at the live theater and of course had a fantastic visit from Santa...... The kids loved all their new toys and so do I! It is always so special to me to have my family over. We don't all get to be together very often so it is exciting when we all get to continue making memories with one another.
This past week we headed to Micah's parent's Ranch for Christmas with the Brays! Micah's brother's family was there from PA. So we were so excited to see them. His sister's family came as well. We were all there. So exciting! We were so lucky that Santa came and visited us as well.....man we all must have been amazing children this year! After opening our gifts we headed to Palestine for the Polar Express train ride. What a great idea! We rode to the N. Pole and Santa road back with us to the train station. We all got hot chocolate and sang Christmas carols. Santa handed out bells.....the whole works! It was such a great experience for the girls.
