Polar Express Train Ride

We traveled to Williams AZ, where we got to take a train to the North Pole. We all got dressed in our jammies and snow boots and were ready for the fun. It was snowing a lot and it was very cold. We had a blast. The girls loved playing in the snow and seeing Santa while he gave them a bell. We sang Christmas songs, had hot coco and cookies, and enjoyed family time. At the end of the day, we were all very tired, but the girls were very hiper from all of the sugar. It took them awhile to calm down and go to sleep. It was a great trip and we look forward to doing it again next year.
mmmm, yummy

Brian loves to decorate for Christmas. He spent 4 days outside setting up the house. After a few hiccups with "not enough power" to hold all the lights. He finally plugged half the house to the neighbor's outlets, part outside and part inside, he finally got it to work. Next year, we need to get more wattage or whatever to the outside outlets. Go Brian! You did a great job!

Let it snow...in Vegas?


The last thing you think you will see is a snow storm in the desert. We woke up this past Monday morning to snow. It was very exciting since it has been 4 years since it snowed here. Luck would have it, we were just packing up to go to the snow to ride the Polar Express train in AZ. We did get to play in the snow and the girls had a blast.
