Trains and Thanks

We were fortunate enough to have the Murphy's join us for Thanksgiving weekend. We fried a turkey again, had some major success at day after Thanksgiving sales, and then on Saturday we went to the Polar Express.

Polar Express was SO fun. Cade quite literally thought that he was going to the North Pole. The look on his face when he looked out the train window and saw Santa was priceless. He was so star struck when Santa walked on the train, that he couldn't even mutter what he wanted for Christmas. Coleman loved the train ride, and I loved all of the novelty... the kids got to have their tickets punched, the wait staff gave us mugs of hot cocoa, and Santa gave everyone a bell. Coleman even threw his ticket out the window and Russ had to chase after it before the train left him. It was just like the movie and absolutely adorable. I hope that we do this again every year.

Coleman actually tried his ice cream cone at dinner before we got on the train.

Cade was proud of himself that he set the table, and he got to eat off of something besides plastic :)

The silverware became Transformers destroying the crackers.

Both boys not having sitting still enough for a picture. Imagine that.
