Polar Express Day!

Polar Express Day is a FAVORITE tradition in our family...usually held the first weekend in December. It's packed full of good food and fun...we always get new pajamas, play fun games, and watch a movie together and those that want to can sleep out in the family room. This year Grandma and Grandpa Blake joined us, adding to the fun and a GREAT game of Monopoly. The movie, Nutty Professor, left much to be desired...so next year we'll be sure our pick of movie is better. But it was all great fun...a favorite night for our family.
