Merry Christmas from our family to yours!!!!

It's beginning to...

...look a lot like Christmas!!! Today @ my work we had our annual Christmas party. It's nor your normal Christmas party cause spouses don't come and it's during work hours. They instead shut out office down in the afternoon and we don't see any patients. We decided to make it a bit fun today at work...

We had a blast "goofing" off and were so thankful everyone enjoyed the fun! We got to leave @ 3:45 today which is SOOO nice!!!

I quickly picked the boys up from school and of course each day we have to visit the gingerbread houses at the kids school. Well yesterday I tried to go out @ lunch and get the kids one to make but I was out of luck and the only thing I could find was gingerbread men to decorate. So once we got home we opened the fun and let them decorate them for Santa... 

We are very excited about our gingerbread family...

I think they turned out pretty good! Now to clean up all those tiny candy's off my floor that Seth kept dropping!

All Aboard!!! (Part 2)

All Aboard!!!

All Aboard! The Polar Express!!!! We traveled to Bryson City, NC to ride the train to the North Pole. It was pretty cool! We did not tell the kids til we were at breakfast and they were beyond excited! Noah was excited before that because he got to sleep a hotel. 

We punched our kids to board the train...

Check it out mom...a real ticket!

We got some hot chocolate...

and loved it to the last drop...

a big ole cookie always makes it taste better!

The conductor came to stamp our tickets!

And guess what?!?! We saw Santa!

We kept saying "no Santa".

Gavin really liked Santa...

along with his brother Wyatt!

Umm... Seth "no Santa, no Santa."

There he's gone!

We got a bell! And it really works! Hear it daddy!

And that bell is right beside him in his bed tonight!

All in all a very cool expereince! Would I go back, yes. My boys loved it!!!
