Boy oh boy could the kids be any more excited about Santa coming?

Brookelynn and Rylie try to catch snowflakes on their tongues! As you can see ther is no need for a jacket here at our house. not like back home.

Here is what our house looked like when we came home from riding the Polar Express!! what a treat!

The Snow was a fun surprise for the kids. Shelby has never seen snow befor. We are not prepared for snow here in the desert. The kids came in from playing in the snow soaking wet!!

Thanks to mom for the snow man making kit.

Since Christmas is coming we decided to take the kids for a ride on the Polar Express. The kids had a great time and they got to see Santa, sing Christmas songs and drink hot chocolate. What a fun way to get us all in the Christmas spirit.

Everyone received a bell from Santa as "the first gift of Christmas. We were hearing bells all night long. All the kids were wearing their pajamas and slippers and bathrobes. The train took us to the "North Pole" where Santa boarded and wandered through the train for picture taking opportunities.

Rylie has a swim meet this weekend. This was her freestyle.

check it out!
