Polar Express

The preschool always has a fun birthday party for Jesus the day before they start break.  This year I brought a snack so I was able to go from station to station with the boys.  I love getting to see them in action:) They are so kind to their classmates and that literally is all I care about!

They both won Bingo and got candy canes - might have been the high point for them:)

Waiting patiently for their snack

The book exchange is always fun - but sometimes tears!  This year they did it in small groups and none of the kids had the book they gave, which made it go much better for everyone!

Bryden got the green book and Brexten got the story of Christmas - although I think they swapped, Brexten and green sort of go hand-in-hand!

That night we took the kids down to Golden to ride the Polar Express.  It is a much different experience than the Santa Express.  They get their golden tickets

Then we move into a stationary train car for hot cocoa, cookies and songs - along with the telling of the Polar Express

They didn't take their eyes off of the characters

Proudly showing off their tickets that would get them on the train

 

I wasn't wearing make-up so all you get is a black and white of us!

Next we went outside and waited for the Polar Express to come pick us all up

We got on and Santa got on too!

They punched our tickets - I got a snowman

The only picture I got of Santa handing out a bell to everyone who believed

Then lastly, the following morning I got to go on a date with this handsome dude.  I never get one-on-one time with him anymore, so we took the opportunity of daddy being home and did it!
