Our Attempt at Snow and Polar Express

Last weekend I found out that one of our strip malls had snow periodically through the evening and the bookstore was doing a Polar Express reading. Both sounded fun so we planned a family night out. My sister in law Jami and her family joined in on the fun! Well...the snow was just a sprinkling of foamy bubbles, but the kids didn't care and enjoyed the ten minutes of foam falling and made for some cute pictures!


Caleb and Carter were being too cute giving each other a hug!!!!


We walked from the snow to the bookstore and on the way over Ellie and Drew were being so cute holding hands. Jami even got all of them (minus busy Carter of course) to hold hands...stinkin cute!




We got the to bookstore early to get seats and waited...and waited....and waited. Apparently we were on the right floor, but wrong spot! They read the story again for those of us who miss it and the kids all got a bell and cookie. We had fun and it was nice to get out and do something "Christmasy" together!



Carter found this little gem while we were waiting and waiting....but I am SO glad! Drew has a monkey just like this from his birthday two years ago. He sleeps with it and it is well...a little disheveled these days. We have looked and looked for one just like it and this is the closest we have found! We secretly bought it without the kids knowing....ssshhhhh.......he may find it under the three Christmas morning!
