Polar Express

Yesterday was one of my most favorite traditions ever!  I don't care that I get all stressed out right before we leave and holler at everyone, I don't care that we had to take a later train, I don't care that the train left late, I don't care that we ate a super late dinner, I don't care about any of it.  I loved it!  
I loved that even though the train was a little late the kids didn't care.
I loved being with my sisters!
I loved wearing all of my holiday gear with my bestie Jessica!
I love that my parents came up with tradition 6 years ago. 
And I love that my mother bought her sweater at Tops.
And I love my Mom!
Even if I do get grumpy with her sometimes, she knows that I still love her the mostest.
I love that these two nerds always make it so fun for the kids!
I love that these two are still besties after all these years!
I love everyone gabbing away on the train!
 I love that even though Camden wasn't feeling well he was still adorable as ever!
 I love all these kids.
I love everyone's Santa's hats!
I love that my Dad worms his way into every picture.
And I love the Grinch in the background!
I love these people.
And I love these guys too.
I REALLY loved the reindeer!!!!!  They were my favorite part!
I love these guys!
I really love that the Grinch laughed a few times too!
I love waiting in the super long freezing line!  I love that EVERY year Oliver complains about how cold he is as if he may die.
I love that my Dad fools around every year when I try to take this picture and I have to say, "COME ON DAD!"  
I love these people!  I loved watching Harper dance around with excitement over everything at the Polar Express!
I love that my family is agreeable with 78,000 pictures that I make them take.
Oh and by the way Santa, if you are listening I would love a sleigh like this for my Christmas photo shoots next year.
I love that Nick smiled nice for this picture.
I love that Harper got on the sleigh!
 I love this memory ;)
I love that my kids were so excited to see Santa.  And I love how polite they were when it was their turn!!
I love this picture.
I love that Nick did not smile nice for this picture!

**I do not however love that I did not get pictures of Owen, Kayden, and Camden with Santa!!!**

I love that Theo's restaurant stayed open late JUST FOR US so that we could finish out our Christmas Tradition!  I love that even though the whole staff stayed on and kept the restaurant open for an extra two hours they gave us the best service ever.  I love that they gave the kids t-shirts and coloring books!

So overall, I love Polar Express day.  I even love the last minute "do we have everything" freak out I do before we leave the house.  I love it all!  I am already looking forward to next year!
