Yesterday

snuggle Yesterday we spent our day in our jammies, snuggling up and watching
Christmas video's. It snowed all day long. I decided to just keep Sophia home
from preschool and we just hung out until it was time to go and get Emmie from school.
The current favorites here are, The Polar Express, Frost The Snowman, (the classic version)
-- (non Christmas) Sleeping Beauty and Peter Pan. The Polar Express mesmerizes both
Thing 1 and Thing 2. In fact, the first time they watched it,
which was a few weeks ago, during the opening train scene, I had
the volume turned up very loud. Both Things were so serious and
their eyeballs got so big, it was hilarious. PB164766
Sophia was really into it. PB164757
Here you can see how serious Daniel is. In fact, he was so shocked,
he forgot he had a snack! lol We are having a great time this holiday season.
Hopefully next week we will make our trip to see Santa. I can't wait. ;)

Their expressions are priceless! There's nothing like staying inside on a cold, snowy day in your jammies. The Polar Express is one of our favorites and Will gets quite serious while watching it too!
Have a great weekend with your family!

Love those days when you can just stay in jammies all day and slow down and enjoy just spending time together. Love you Christmas blog look. I'm trying to figure out this digital scrapbooking thing and trying to redo my blog. I really want to scream!

LOL look at them LOL they are so in to the movie. Addison loves Frosty and Rudolf. Livi still likes Elf LOL I think I will play the Polar Express tomorrow for them and see if they like it this year...last year they were not interested. We got several inches of snow today and expecting more next week.

Sometimes those are the best kind of days ever!!! We love all of those movies too! There is something so mesmerizing about the Polar Express! Those pictures are just priceless! : )

Kristi said...

Those are the best of days to stay home and just be together! Anna loves the Polar express also.....we have been listening to the Polar express CD in the car and she sings along to all the songs! Her favs are the 1st track with the train sounds, then the "Wish upon a star" song, and of course the "Hot Chocolate" song! Get it for your things as they will love it!

Sophia's eyes are hilarious in that photo! Glad you had a nice, relaxing weekend staying warm inside the comforts of your home. I so wish we could do movie nights/days, whatever, with Mia. Leila and I could watch movies for hours. Mia... 5 minutes. Unless it's da da da da da Dora.

Have a great week!!

Shelly and Family said...

As you know...that movie is a favorite in our house too! A day in jammies is a day that we too so love to do!
