Polar Express...or lack there of!

I'm the bad mom who for the SECOND year had her camera die the minute we got to the Polar Express last night. Therefore, check out my friends blogs who are"good moms" that graciously took pictures for us. We really enjoyed ourselves and were glad things went so smoothly. Connor enjoyed every aspect of the train ride, the book reading, Santa, and the cookies and cocoa. Santa was sat on by both boys as Connor quickly recites, "I want a tractor and Liam wants a dump truck!" Guess we've seen Santa a few too many times this year.
We also had Doyle Christmas this week and "cleaned up" in our eyes. The boys got so many great toys, books and puzzles that we can't believe we have another christmas and a birthday still to come. We have already gotten lots of use out of the dinosaur foor puzzle and tractor sticker book. What a blessing to have such giving and loving aunts, uncles and grandparents!
We are preparing for the big snow storm coming our way and slowly beginning to pac for our two weeks in Omaha. My dad is so excited we are coming and bringing some hockey love that he has been calling every day with a weather update("Michaela, its warm today but tomorrow should cool off, snow on monday and then tuesday and wednesday will be perfect conditions for the rink to freeze. We should be skating by the weekend!!") Every day!! The outside rink he makes in our backyard should get a lot of use during the two weeks we are there.
Happy Holidays!!
