The Polar Express

The whole 1st grade at Caden's school took The Polar Express last week for their final field trip of this year. I was fortunate enough to be able to joing them. The kids had an AMAZING time. It was a freezing cold morning, but the sun was shining and the kids didn't mind the 45 minutes we spent waiting outside for the train to be ready. (The parents...well, we were cold!) It was about an hour train ride and we got hot chocolate and sang Christmas carols on the train. It was a GREAT day!

Caden's best buddy Canan


Our conductor, who looked the part perfectly.


Me and my boy. If you look closely, Cade looks a little like a jack-o-lantern. He's lost another tooth, the top one this time. When combined with his bottom side one he lost last month, he makes a perfect jack-o-lantern. Too bad it's Christmas not Halloween!!!

Walking in a Winter Wonderland....Parade

Cade started Cub Scouts this year and is loving it so far. Curt is the Den Leader for Cade's den, which is pretty hilarious. Curt is the perfect guy to wrangle nine 6 year olds for an hour and half once a week...in all of his abundant free time. I think my husband deserves a HUGE gold medal.

So, this morning was our local Christmas parade and Cade's pack got the pleasure of marching in it...in 30 degree weather...for approx 1.5 miles...and his wonderful Den Leader Daddy was at home puking up his toenails. What a great morning!! No, seriously, it really was a great morning. We rolled with the punches, laughed all morning and generally had a fantastic time (except for Curt, his morning wasn't so fantastic. Luckily, the bug passed by afternoon and he's much better now.)

Here are a few pics of our morning.


She enjoyed the parade thoroughly, but every 10 floats or so, Keira would look at me and say "Are they starting again, Mom?" I guess once you've seen one nativity scene, you've seen them all.


Hey everyone!!!
