This year, thanks to a good friend, we made it to the Polar Express up north and took our kiddos to the North Pole (in Williams, Az). We kept it a secret, we didn't even tell them we were going out of town. I packed the bag while they were at school and on Saturday morning, told them to get their teddy bears to sleep with. The girls say now that they guessed where we were going. They knew we had a big surprise and had thought it would be going to the movies (hmm, yeah, we obviously don't do that very often since they think it'd be THE big surprise!). The boys had no clue, even when we got to the train station :) and the girls didn't really guess, they only hoped.
It was fun, a bit expensive for a family of 7, plus staying in a 4 star hotel (it was a 1 star, and I think it got 1 star because of the 27 inch flat screen TV or maybe the telephone with no cord, or the antique windows, and the mismatched furniture, not sure).
We played in the snow too. I realize that my kids are big wusses when it comes to cold, I need to move them where it snows for a a couple of years, just to expose them to the real world, geeeezzze!
Now is the big count down, only 6 days to get all the wrapping done and bake the goodies and get them delivered, yikes, gotta get going!
That cookie is bigger than his little face!!!
If you know the story, the little boy loses his bell because he has a whole in his pocket. Santa gave a bell to Tommy and said: "here you go, I hope you don't have holes in your pocket"! So I checked, and look at that!!! He didn't want to wear his pjs, because he's too cool like that.
Oh baby it's cold outside!
This looks like a male snowman for sure!!!
