Yesterday, we rode the Christmas train with Santa. The boys were very excited, and i think they enjoyed themselves. Cooper wore his PJs "like they do in Polar Express", and Jackson asked a ton of questions. Meanwhile, Ella threw her cup down a million times and cried most of the trip--which was a big bummer. I have no idea why she was so upset, but none of my usual efforts made her happy. In hindsight, I guess she might have done better to stay with the grandparents, but I didn't want to exclude her at the time. At least we got a family picture with Santa--though it is on the big camera so I don't have a way to share it with you right now. You'll just have to take my word for it. :)
I'm not sure if we'll do it again next year, but I'm glad we had a chance to make some memories together. What are some of your family holiday traditions? ♦
