I made reservations to watch the Polar Express at our local childrens museum next week and meet Santa. It is a pj party so we had to go buy pj's today and so when we tried them on I decided to take a few pics. Caitlyn has only enjoyed 2 movies since coming home. Lady and the Tramp and Polar Express. Why, I have no idea what would make her choose these 2 to sit down and actually be still all the way through, but she should love this. It is in an imax theater and they have a train exhibit as well. They serve cocoa and cookies during the movie.




If anyone wants a Christmas card that visits regularly please go to my profile and email your address, I would love to send one. I love card exchanges. Filling up the fridge with cards is a favorite thing. A tip:
I mount the cards to 12 x 12 scrapbook paper and make a collage of several and they loook so pretty that way. I will have to take a pic of it.

  • What a fun activity you have planned!!! They'll need their pjs on after back to back movies.

    I love the pictures of the girls together. You have such a gift for capturing the beautiful moments.

  • Okay I read that wrong. I thought it was a double feature but after a double take, I saw that it isn't. No coffee yet this morning. :o)

    Lindy is a livewire and constant motion but the other night she was captivated by the Polar Express. I hope it is a magical time for your family, as well.

  • beautiful pics. I like how you dress your girls up matching. See when I am able to adopt a sister then Glenys and she will wear matching and it will be like a dream come true.

    They can hash it out later in therapy.

  • Love the photos and their matching gowns. We did the Polar Express a couple of years ago riding the train down in Calera. It was alot of fun, but Ana Claire was scared to death of Santa.
    We watched the movie the other night. I love it.
    Have fun.

  • That sounds like lots of fun! The pj's are so pretty that I did not know they were pj's until I read a little.

    Beautiful pictures of beautiful girls!! I love the ones with Caitlyn and her teddy bear.

    Sorry you weren't able to get the book at the bookstores. I wonder why? I am sure Amazon still has some. Have a great time at the pajama party!!

  • I love the pj's! The Polar Express is one of my kids favorites. What fun going in your pj's. Do you get to wear yours too??
    Please take a pic of how you mount the cards! I would love to copy... I just hang mine on a garland & pins.
    Lilly loves her ornament!! She points to it every day & says "Lilly". Very sweet. Thanks so much for thinking of us!
    Merry Christmas,

  • You know Connie, the more I get to know you and your kiddos the more I see SO MUCH resemblence in the personalities of Lottie, Emma and Caitlyn. Too bad we don't live close enough to play with each other!

    I read a comment from you on another blog about everyone else's child sitting in their parent's lap but not yours....Yep...that's us!!!! I DO love their high spiritness (is that a word?) though just would like to find a way to rein it in a little when I need to..LOL

  • Oh that sounds like such a fun adventure! Last year all of the first grade classes did a Polar Express Day. They watched the movie, drank cocoa and while they were out of the room, Santa came and brought bells for everyone. My boys still talk about it.

    I LOVE those pj's!
