Riding the North Pole Express

We had to wait until after the Christmas show at Gateway to really get into the holiday spirit, we were just TOO busy! But finally we were able to enjoy some family time celebrating the holidays.
(Check out the video at the end of this post- too cute!)
First off was making and decorating Christmas cookies!





Then decorating the house. we decided to forgo the big tree this year. But we love our little "Charlie Brown" tree :)


In grapevine we stopped by the Christmas display before heading to the train station














The giant train display was pretty cool


Mikey thought it was pretty cool!


such a cool train set





adjusting the blanky


It's Dora! Joshua just HAD to take a picture with her :)


Joshua also needed to pose by "Frosty"


we got the kids a giant corn dog to split


Mmmmmmm


The boys





Sipping Hot Cocoa, waiting for the little show to begin














Finally on the train!


Me and Mikey






Looking at the scenery outside


Will I ever get my ticket punched?!!


The conductor finally gets to him


and Joshua too!


Finally got his ticket punched


examining the punches


The train was decorated so nicely!


WHO'S THAT?!!!


Getting Christmas wishes from Santa


Joshua had a lot to say!


A little face time with Santa!


My guys having fun

Sorry this video is so dim, the train wasn't very bright, but the kids were so cute I had to include it anyways!
