Family Pictures

Although I always dread family pictures, I am always so thankful after seeing the results!  Love this crazy, adorable and loving family of mine. Never a dull moment in our house!  There might not be 5 smiles in every picture but at least we are all in one picture!

 

 

 

 

Polar Express

The kids have been watching Polar Express for a few weeks in anticipation of their own trip to the North Pole on the Polar Express.  This is another tradition our family has loved the past few years.  And once again it did not disappoint the kids.  Very magical watching the kids light up as people sang and danced down the cabin aisle and even more special watching the kids excitement as we pulled into the north pole!  Such a fun evening in our jammies!

Off to the North Pole we go . . .

 These three couldn't be any cuter!!!! 

Pre Polar Express dinner at Eskimo Joes.  We couldn't pass up the cheese fries while in Stillwater!

 It was SO cold, like single digits which made it feel even more like the north pole!

My little eskimo!

 

So excited to get their golden tickets!

All aboard!

 

 

 

Ballet Parent Preview

Loved getting to see this beautiful ballerina and her friends show off what they have learned this fall season.  They were seriously the cutest!  So proud of my tiny dancer!

 

 These cutest ballerinas I have ever seen.  Cuteness overload!

Santa

One of our favorite holiday events is breakfast with Santa at Oak Tree.  This year everyone was all smiles and giggles which made for such a memorable morning.  We had our own private time with Santa and the kids talked his ear off with present requests, life stories, elf on the shelf shangainas . . . so much fun. They were smiling from ear to ear!  Pure magic!

We got to breakfast a little early and ran into the jolly man right as we walked in! 

J, H and M came prepared with their lists!

 High fives for all!

 

 Love these sweet and silly neighbor kiddos!
