we played with our reindeer antlers, compliments of preschool...
we enjoyed our final christmas movie night with themed treat, which was spoiled by daughter's classroom watching the movie before we could.
maddie: "mom, i don't want to watch the polar express."
heather: "why?"
m: because we already watched it in school and i will be so bored.
h: ok, that's fine, but i don't have another movie & treat theme.
m: (almost crying) but i waaaannnnt a treat that goes with the movie. i tried not to watch it in school, but it was so hard.
h: it is ok to watch it with your class.
m: but i wanted to watch it with youuuuu.
h: we will do something...
so we had hot cocoa and watched olive, the other reindeer. (forgot how cute that movie is.)
we took a trip on the christmas express. got this idea from pinterest. as kids got ready for bed, i put tickets on their pillows. when they found them, i explained that we would be going to look at christmas lights in our pj's. i made hot cocoa & milk chocolate for the lil' man. i stood outside the car saying "tickets please" and hole punched them for effect. they were laughing. we had a great family night...
then nooch arrived for the last time on christmas eve, and left them a letter explaining that he will be back next year and will miss the kids...
