Jingle Bell Rock Time!

 
Holiday Dance Recital
This year for Christmas Larkin's dance school put on a holiday recital.  It was super cute, lasted less than an hour, and the girls had a blast!  Larkin's class tap danced to Jingle Bell Rock and her teacher, Ms. Pam, did a great job!

The Polar Express

The Polar Express!
This year during the Christmas season we decided to take the family on a ride on the Polar Express in Williams, AZ.  We had such a fun time!  Besides getting to spend the night in Flagstaff and playing some mean games of hide-n-seek in the hotel, we also had a wonderful time wearing our pajamas on the train.  Once we boarded the train the fun really began.  We had hot cocoa and chocolate chip cookies while listening to the story of the Polar Express as the train chugged on towards the North Pole!  Once we arrived at the North Pole we saw lots of holiday lights and of course, Santa Claus!  Santa even boarded the train with us and rode all the way back to the train station stopping to talk with each child and give them a little bell.  Of course we had to be in the Christmas spirit so we sang our favorite Christmas carols the whole trip back.  What a fun time we had!!!!
