Sounds of Christmas

We went to see the play Sounds of Christmas today at the Off Broadway Theater. It was very good and put us in the holiday spirit! Alex wore her pink boa, naturally!

Twins Christmas Party

We went to the North County Mother's of Multiples annual Christmas Party today. We always have such a good time. Alex and Ben made Christmas cards, colored holiday pictures, and strung beads on a pipe cleaner bracelets. Ben made 9 bracelets! They highlight of course is when Santa comes. Ben told him he had been very good, but just a little bit bad! He asked for Star Wars people. Alex told Santa she had been been good, and maybe a little bad too, but not bad like Ben. She was so funny, she leaned over to Santa and asked him for a Dora kitchen (that darn Dora kitchen is going to haunt me - can you say, "Holly Hobby Lunchbox!) It was a fun afternoon. When Santa was leaving, Ben ran up and gave him a big hug and told Santa he loved him.

Polar Express

We drove out to Williams, Arizona, to ride the Polar Express. It was a chance to experience the magic of The Polar Express, the classic children's book by Chris Van Allsburg. The Polar Express came to life when the train departed the Williams Depot for a journey through the dark and quiet wilderness for a special visit to the "North Pole." We got to enjoy hot chocolate and cookies while listening to the magical story. It was great to watch the joy on the Alex and Ben's faces when the train arrived at the North Pole, where Santa Claus and his reindeer were waiting! Santa then got aboard The Polar Express and handed each child their own special gift- a silver bell. Ben was really quite when Santa got on the train. Once Santa came by and gave him his silver bell, he exclaimed, "Yeah, Santa thinks I have been good!" It was a wonderful evening. Though after a 6 hour drive, and being unaware of the time change, left us a little tired.
