*The Polar Express*

Jaden is beyond obsessed with trains (especially Thomas). So of course when Papa introduced the Polar Express movie to him a month or two ago he was hooked and that's all he wanted to talk about and watch. During the holidays they have an actual Polar Express train ride that goes to the "North Pole" and back, so of course we just had to do it with Jaden. Papa booked the tickets and in the beginning of January off we went to Flagstaff for our Polar Express adventure! On the train ride you get yummy hot chocolate, cookies, sing Christmas carols, and Santa comes on the train and gives all the kids a bell.

Eli, Brityn, and Jaden

Cousins!!

Such a fun and magical experience for the kids, so worth it!! Although it's a pretty long drive from Gilbert to Flagstaff, so I think next year we will maybe make a weekend trip out of it and get a hotel.

*Super late...... Christmas 2013*

Life has been so busy for our family lately that I have not gotten around till now to post about Christmas, and many other fun things that have happened. Anyways, Christmas was tons of fun this year, Jaden understood for the most part the whole Santa thing and was pretty excited on Christmas morning to see what he brought. I truly LOVE to buy toys and fun things for my kids and I had to stop myself from going too crazy otherwise we would of gone totally broke hahah. It's so fun to see there faces light up on Christmas morning and get so excited with all the new fun things to play with (being a parent especially on birthday and holidays is the BEST)!!

All of our family lives close so of course we had to make our usual round to both my family and Josh's on Christmas Day.First we started at our house with Santa's and Mommy/Daddy presents:

Santa left a message for Jaden on his new Lego table!

We had a wonderful Christmas and a calm, stay at home watch Netflix New Years!! Excited for 2014 and all the new adventures it has to offer!

*My Sunbeam*

Today was Jaden's first Sunday as a Sunbeam at church. I cried just taking this picture and then totally lost it saying goodbye to him in Primary (he did great, mommy not so much lol). I feel that time is going too fast, and that before I know it this will be a mission picture and I'll be saying goodbye for two years not just two hours. So proud of Jaden and the big boy he is becoming!
