Christmas Lights and Polar Express Party

We had great friends of ours, the Zander’s, invite a few families out to go in a horse drawn carriage/wagon to look at Christmas lights.  Jennifer’s sister drives the carriage, and we had a wonderful night of lights and friends!  The girls were so excited to go, and the weather was perfect.  I didn’t get too many pictures (ok I only got this 1!), but we will definitely try to do this again!

The last 2 years at the girls elementary school, they have had The Polar Express day where the kids got to wear PJs to school, watch the movie and the kinder kids got to have popcorn and hot chocolate.  Anna has been talking about this for 2 years, and McKenna was anxiously awaiting the big day.  I hadn’t heard anything about it, so I emailed her teacher to find out that they are doing it this year!!!  The tears fell that afternoon, so I promised that over the Christmas break, we would have our own Polar Express day, complete with hot chocolate, popcorn, and most importantly – FRIENDS!

Neither I or the girls really like the Polar Express movie, but I do LOVE the book, so no one actually watched the movie.  We did have fun eating, drinking, decorating cookies, playing and talking with our friends.

It was another fun day with friends!
