Thanksgiving!

Every year I am amazed by how much I have to be thankful for. 

This year is no exception.

Mom flew in and Dave and Brandy, along their two handsome boys,  Uncle Gary and his friend all joined us for a very yummy feast and lots of pie.  
 Chloe made a beautiful sign that read, "What R you thankful 4?"

I am thankful for my family.  My friends.  My healthy, beautiful children.  

And for each additional day I have on earth to learn something new, make something better and enjoy all my blessings!

How about you?

Do you believe?

Last weekend Craig and I took the kids to ride the Polar Express!

We arrived early to check out the train, have a snack and enjoy the atmosphere.

The kids were all comfy in their p.j.'s, many parents wore theirs too. 

 I was really wishing I was in mine after a bit.

The kids were so excited to hear the whistle, signaling the train was almost here!

We sang Christmas carols, had hot chocolate and snickerdoodles and read along while the conductor read The Polar Express over the speakers.

Then Santa came aboard to give each child a bell from his sleigh.

(Craig and I asked for one too!)

It was a wonderful experience.

It warmed my heart when Chloe told me,  "This was something I will remember forever."

Me Too!
