Trains, and Zoos, and Lights Galore!

This year I attempted to get all the cousins together for pajama train. Unfortunately, Tia and I forgot to buy tickets right away the day they went on sale and by the time we remembered that night, the day we wanted was sold out. Tia Erika was on top of it and managed to get tickets for that night. We were bummed but quickly picked another night and Tia Alyssa was able to get tickets for the same night so we had most of the cousins. Tia bought the kids matching pjs and they were super cute! We managed to get some great pictures with Santa. Elise and Emmett wanted nothing to do with him but Emmett grudgingly agreed to sit on Mrs. Claus' lap. We attempted to get pictures of all the kids, but that proved difficult since Elise just wanted to run around. It was good for a laugh and Tristan finally stepped in and held her. We rode the train a billion times, ate way too many cookies, and drank our body weight in hot chocolate; it was a great night!


Elise didn't get the memo to look at Santa







I accidentally covered the flash but Emmett
trying to corral Elise is too good!










Clara took some great pictures!



We headed to Zoolights on another cold night. Unfortunately Elise was sick so she and Tia stayed home, but Aba and Grandma Donna joined us. The kids loved the decorations as always and were really into taking silly pictures. We failed to get a family picture because we were having too much fun! Once again, Emmett wanted nothing to do with Santa but was bribed to stand next to him. Clara told him she wanted a kitten and Bailey said a puppy. He was hilarious when he gave them his "disclaimer" about not being able to deliver weapons and animals!







The progression of Emmett's Santa picture faces


I think Santa promised him a Paw Patrol firetruck



Clara and Emmett were scared of the Storm Troopers







They wanted to take pictures with EVERY decoration
