Today was a lazy day around the house. We finished up the last 2 tests before Christmas break and then spent the day cuddling together watching Christmas movies on Hallmark. Holidays in Handcuffs. One of my favorites. :)
Day 22... Saturday.
Here was a big night. During the day nothing too special just errands and grocery shopping. Saturday night though was full of magic. We printed out tickets from Erica at Confessions of a Homeschooler. Got the kids in their PJ's and they had no idea what was going on. Strung lights around the floor board of the van, blew our wooden train whistle, and handed out the mugs of hot chocolate. Fully loaded with blankets and stuffed animals we loaded up in our own "Polar Express", punched tickets and all, and headed off to see some Christmas lights around the cities. The laughter and magic that filled the van is something I will never forget. The kids were so excited and loved every second. We sang Christmas carols. We detoured. We stopped and rushed to stay on time. We even went down a hill that was just like the one in the movie, yelled, and then yelled CARIBOU!? At the bottom of the hill. :) It was awesome and they all said they couldn't wait for next year. So glad we did it!
