MERRY CHRISTMAS

Blake's school picture. This is a real smile! :)

POLAR EXPRESS

The Mt. Hood Railroad has a couple of kid theme rides. This year we went on the Polar Express train. It was a 90 min train ride up the Gorge (however it was pitch black for most of the way, so the scenery wasn't that great). On the train we sang Christmas songs, had hot chocolate and cookies, and even got a visit from Santa. Just like the movie, Santa gave the kids a bell from his sleigh. The ride was fun, but a bit long for the attention span of a 4 year old.

BATMAN & ROBIN

This year Blake wanted to be BATMAN. And as a joke, I told him I would be his helper Robin. Well he was so excited about it, and started telling everybody at school & church that I was going to be Robin. I couldn't let him down... I told him that I would be his helper & help him eat his candy.
