The Polar Express

The Polar Express rolled into Arbor Springs this past weekend. We continued our tradition of decorating the Christmas tree and watching the Polar Express to kick off the holiday season.

The kids were real excited to decorate the tree and were actually quite helpful this year. At least with the bottom portion of the tree.

Catie seems pleased with her work...

Abby was decked out for the Packer game. Unfortunately, it didn't bring the Packers any luck!

Tuesday night, we all went to the Tucker Christmas Celebration. They closed off Main Street, and had several activities for the kids. Above, Jackson is roasting a marshmallow for his S'more.

Abigail was all bundled up for the occasion. We all suffered through a bone-chilling night with temperatures in the mid 40's!!!

Here are the kids with the Alligator, who is the mascot of one of the restaurants in downtown Tucker. Note the Alligator beaded necklaces!

The Tucker High School Band led a parade down the street, ending with Santa arriving in an antique pick-up truck.

Here they are with Santa. This is the first year that Catie wasn't afraid to sit on his lap! Jackson asked for a car that drives on the ceiling, Catie asked for a "swimming dog" and Abigail asked to learn how to walk!

Abby has recently started eating table food. As you can see, we started with the best!
