The day after Thanksgiving she had a peppermint party for the kids. Another cute cute party! I wish I had pictures of the invitations. Precious.
The kids watched Frosty the Snowman and had peppermint popcorn (yum!).
Then they had a special lunch. 
Aren't the headbands hilarous?
Jackson insisted on wearing his this way!
Christmas Bingo is always a hit.
Every time I looked Jackson was shoving a marshmellow into his mouth.
That night we went to the Polar Express. It was so much fun. The kids all wear their pjs and they had some fun activities set up (ornament decorating, pictures with Santa, etc...) We had tickets for 6:30 and people lined up early! They let us into this room and they had a little show for us to get us excited to get on the Polar Express!
Here are all the kids excited to start!
Getting ready to make some ornaments.
Here's Jackson's ornament.
Here's Coopers! (funny story-Santa comes on the train to meet all the kids and Cooper held up his ornament to show Santa. Santa thought he was giving it to him and very graciously took it. Cooper got a little upset but held it together and didn't cry. I think he was kind of proud but also upset that Santa had his ornament! :))
Once the show was over we walked through this Christmas tree maze to get on the train and they were blowing snow on us. The boys thought it was amazing!
Here are some of us on the Polar Express! (My big head blocked Laura in every picture, oops.)
Meeting Santa! They were SO excited.
Santa gave them jingle bells. They had the train all decorated and Christmas music playing, it was really fun!
We tried to get the kids to pose in front of the Polar Express.
The Christmas lights were GORGEOUS on all the buildings around the Polar Express so we walked around and checked everything out.
All of the kids! The next morning our out-of-town relatives got up bright and early and drove home. We miss them and wish they lived closer!
