Santa and Polar Express

On Tuesday night we went to the Robinson's House for a Christmas get together and guess who came to visit!

Everyone was so excited that Santa came to the party.  He listened to what everyone wanted for Christmas and even passed out small gifts to the kids. 

Abigail was more interested in getting her face painted and asked if Emily could get her gift for her from Santa because she wasn't going to get to too close : ) 

 Rachel snapped this photo for me of Santa BEHIND Abigail.  Abigail never knew he was there:

On Wednesday I drove to Auburn to work and went to eat Christmas lunch with everyone.  It was nice seeing everyone that day.  Joe was off work and stayed home to handle carpool duty and getting Emily from the bus:

That evening I met everyone at Polar Express at our favorite chicken place.  We ate dinner and then rode the Polar Express train:

 And got Hot Chocolate

 This year they also had free Santa pictures.  Abigail and Harper told us they wanted to just sit in front of Santa for the picture but he coordinating the photo session and picked them up to put them in his lap : )  They did great!

The last day of school before break was on Friday and both girls had Pajama Day at school!

On Saturday we took it easy at home.  Emily used her new American Girl craft to make her doll a shirt with a cat on it:

The count down to Christmas morning has begun!
