Christmas Season is here!
The Polar Express in Danville was the first event to get us in the Christmas spirit.
 |
| Dressed in Illini pjs for Polar Express |
 |
| Cole & Caden with a Polar Express conductor |
 |
| Cole wanted to ride in the front of the train. |
 |
| Caden chose the caboose. |
 |
| On the "Polar Express" (a school bus), we stopped for hot chocolate and candy and sang Christmas carols. |
 |
| Nana, Caden, & Cole at the "North Pole" (Danville's Civic Center), where we listened to carolers and a reading of The Polar Express |
The next day, we attended Danville's Festival of Trees' Heroes Luncheon.
 |
| Two heroes and a mom |
 |
| Cole was thrilled that Star Wars was playing in the background. |
 |
| Cole with the super special visitors |
 |
| Caden looks ready to take on Darth Vader and his stormtroopers. |
 |
| It was great to see a high school friend, Meg and her daughters at the luncheon. Cole is mad in this photo because Caden had just won a raffle prize (Spiderman poster for his bedroom). |
It took over a week, but the house is finally decorated for Christmas.
 |
| Cole's turn to add the finishing touch to the tree |
Breakfast with Santa at Laurel United Methodist Church...pancakes, cookie decorating, and a visit with Santa
 |
| Cole took his meeting with Santa very seriously. |
 |
| Sharing his wish list...Playmobil Secret Agent headquarters is the big request. |
 |
| Caden shared a revised (i.e., shortened) list with Santa that included more Spy Gear. We've agreed to mail the long version. |
 |
| Kieran considered sitting with Santa a form of torture. |
 |
| Papa, Nana, and the boys in front of Laurel's tree |
 |
| Our family |
