Polar Express Party and One on One with Santa (twice)

This past weekend was delightfully ripe with Christmas parties, time with Santa and then more time with Santa and Mrs. Claus. First, we hosted a Polar Express movie night in the frigid air but we had it. We had hot chocolate with peppermint, hot apple cider and peppermint sugar cookies. We had hot-dogs and chips and a lot of fun.

Wrapped up tight with down comforters and hats, scarves and mittens we enjoyed the company of our friends and family... the crisp in the air and a fun start to the holiday season.

Our make-shift movie theater...

wrapped up snug as bugs in rugs... and it was still cold.

the official photo with the big man. Ellabee did well, Anne Bailey was apprehensive, but willing to sit and smile - well, smirk.

and later at Gran D's... we got to spend some more time discussing all the different amenities we'd like on our bike from Santa.
