So...I don't know how I never posted pictures from December, but here are just a few from that busy, busy month!!
We went to the Christmas Tree lighting downtown with my family...a tradition that I hope we never stop doing! It's always fun to watch the little ones as the lights are turned on!
Ceili absolutely LOVES the movie Polar Express and had been asking for months to go on a train ride...so when my mom and I found this train ride, we knew we HAD to take the kids on it! We invited Auntie Mamie, Uncle Matt and Carter to go along with us...a great time was had by all!! This is definitely something we hope to do in the future years as well...such a neat ride!
Anytime Nana and Papaw are around, the kids want NOTHING to do with their Moms and Dads...except maybe Keaton sometimes! (He is such a Mommy's boy!) Nana and Papaw love it though and wouldn't have it any other way...and neither would we!
They replicated the book and movie so well, down to just about every detail. Below is just one example of the characters they had...such an awesome experience to feel like you were really on the POLAR EXPRESS!!
The three kiddos, all comfy in their jammies, couldn't have had a better time!!
Santa even rode on the train for half of the ride - he sat down and spent about 10 minutes with each family!! The below picture isn't the best, but if you look closely at the bottom right, you can see Ceili. I just LOVE her reaction in this picture - nice capture by Daddy!!
They even punched the tickets like in the movie...he punched their first initial on each ticket, which was neat for Ceili to watch!
Below is Keaton eating his first cookie...what a mess he made, but he loved it!!
Ceili was such a lucky little girl this year! She mailed Santa a letter, and HE WROTE HER BACK!! She was soooo excited to get his letter in the mail that she has, since then, written him 3 or 4 more letters!! She must have been a really good girl, because he keeps writing her back! In her last letter, she asked Santa to "Please visit us again, and bring my brother a doll house!" She received a doll house from Santa this year, and I guess she is tired of Keaton playing with it!!

so happy to see an update!! and a really good one. The kids bring so much magic into the holiday season. I love seeing them get so excited and the beautiful smiles that come across their faces I will remember forever.
I do love the holidays...being with the grandkids makes it so much more magical. I agree, the Tree Lighting is a neat tradition, now we need to add the Polar Express also. Thanks for helping to make great memories.
