I have not blogged in a very long time, and wanted to get back into the swing of things, especially since we have tons of fun holiday activities planned.
Over the weekend, my parents, sister, and nieces came to visit to partake in some holiday fun. Earlier this year, Meems said she wanted to take the girls to lunch with Santa, Candycane Lane, and a train ride with Santa. We chose to do it this weekend, since Alexandra Lynn was born 3 (almost 4) weeks early.
The fun weekend began with lunch with Santa, at the Hotel Hershey. It was beautiful. Very festive for the season. Poinsettias, trees, red/gold colors, a wonderful man coming around caroling with the kids, and Santa with the elves.
Emma is not too sure of Santa. She was hooked to pop most of the time.
Ellie on the other hand, LOVED Santa, Mrs. Clause, and the Elves.
When she wasn't dancing...
Jackson, well, we all know what he loves to do...
...he is really cute while doing it.
The entire family got their picture taken with Santa...it is great!! The kids were more than cooperative, and we now have a wonderful picture to provide a memory of the day. Not only did we get a great picture, but all the kids were given a stuffed bear, bag of kisses, and coloring papers. It was a great time.
At the end of the night, we went to Candycane Lane. The girls were able to ride a few rides, but it was cold and crowded. They were able to also see the reindeer.
Typically, Jackson is so laid back. However, the weekend for him, started with Conjunctivitis and a cold. So, it goes without saying, he was slightly fussy.
Sunday we culminated the weekend with a ride on the Strasburg Santa's Paradise Express. Grammi and Pa-Pa joined the ride. Again, Emma was clinging to daddy the entire time, while Ellie enjoyed visiting with Santa, and Jackson enjoyed the sights.
We had a great weekend!!! The entire weekend Emma and Ellie enjoyed the company of each other, I loved the help from my parents, and we were blessed with Meg and Allie (Cat- as Em calls her).
On another note, Tommy got his first win (and lose) of his head coaching experience. We are so proud of him!!
