All Aboard the Polar Express!

This past weekend we we took Lucas on a "Polar Express" Train Ride. This train took us to the North Pole and we saw Santa, his elves, reindeer, Santa's workshop, etc. This was one of the most fun things I've done with Lucas. The kids were so cute in their pjs with their heads glued to the window of the train. It was a 2 hour long train ride, it took about an hour to get to the north pole. In the meantime, the kids had a pj parade, sang songs, heard the Polar Express book read, saw Santa, etc. The funny thing was, is to get on this train ride you have to get in a lottery in September to MAYBE get tickets. Well, Michele and her cousin and their kids all sent in their form separately from us. We got the same night, same train cart, and sat with eachother. It was so so so weird!!! It really made the night even more fun since Lucas had some other kids to play with. Here are our pics.

Happy Halloween

Last night we had a good time trick or treating. Lucas was so excited. It seems every year it gets a little more fun and he gets a little more into it. He was so cute ... we had gone to Gary's dad's house and Lucas was helping pass out candy and began to pass his own out. He asked all the boys and girls what they were dressed up as. And, a few times he would stand up and say to them "Hi, I'm batman. It's nice to meet you" and shake their hand. He's hilarious. Gary wore this silly mullet wig that I had borrowed from my neighbor. Lookin good babe!











This is my cousin Jeanna's little boy. He was the littlest one this year.
















I can't believe how big my nephews are now. Their costumes were awesome.













My cousin Jeanna dresses up every year ... she's so funny.
