The Polar Express

Once Addy's birthday celebration was over, we shifted our focus to Christmas. 

First item of business...to take the girls to see Santa Claus!  Addyson was super excited to tell Santa what she wanted for Christmas (Belle stuff), that is until we got there!!!  They both took one look at the jolly man in the red suit and that was enough for them...Carly started crying and immediately turned to find an escape.  Addyson cooperated...she reluctantly sat on Santa's lap, her legs stiff, stuck straight out in front of her, with a look of fear on her face.  The closest Carly got was to sit on my lap, with me on the floor next to Santa.  We snapped a quick photo, which I decided not to post here.  When Jeff got home, we tried again, this time with no Santa, just the four of us in front of the Christmas tree.  This picture turned out much better! 


Since the first experience wasn't traumatic enough, we then decided to torture our kids once more, with another visit with Santa.  This time we took them to the North Pole via the "Orange Blossom Cannonball" otherwise known as "The Polar Express"!  This visit went a little better, maybe because there were cookies and hot chocolate involved =) 
 

The girls were willing to sit with one of Santa's elves for a photo op...like I said before, notice they each have a cookie in their hand!



 They even were excited to have Santa take his picture with us. 


 Gi with the girls...


And we'll end this post with Addyson's first published photograph.  Pretty good for a 3 year old!
