Polar Express

Five years ago, Nonnie and Bubba took us and the Englands to Palestine to ride the Polar Express. Bailey and Beau were 3 1/2 years old, Charlie was one, and Campbell was six months old.  Now that Charlie and Campbell are old enough to remember it, and Scottie is the perfect age, we decided to go again.  It truly was a magical time riding the train to the North Pole, seeing Santa, and receiving a bell.  We are so thankful for memories like these!

We ate dinner (think yummy fair food) before our train ride...yum!

Thanksgiving

We spent the days leading up to Thanksgiving with Maw-Maw and Pop.  Our baby nephew, Jonah William, was born on October 29 so this our first chance to meet him.  He is precious!  We tried to take the kids to see Santa at Bass Pro Shop, but who knew that the line would be HOURS long the day before Thanksgiving.  We all went to Bremond to see my aunt, uncle, and cousin on Thanksgiving Day.  We had a great time visiting and eating so much delicious food!
