Polar express!

This was our 3rd year doing the polar express. We forego the gifts and instead, we spend time together as a family. The kids love the train and we love the family time :-). This year, Brooklyn and Roman were really excited about the big train and when Roman saw Santa he exclaimed,"I knew he wasn't dead!" You see we have told him about Saint Nicholas and how he lived a long time ago...but it became a bit clearer when we explained that this Santa was just a man dressed up like him. So he was still dead. His comment made us giggle:-). And yes, he knows it's all pretend and the real meaning of Christmas is Jesus!
