Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all! Dinner is done, the kitchen is cleaned, and the ads perused. Now, it is football time.

Hope each of you and yours are enjoying a day full of family, fun and good food. Be sure to take a moment and count all of the things for which you are grateful and say a prayer of thanks!

Take a family picture, have everyone write down one or two things they are thankful for and create a Thanksgiving 2009 scrapbook page. Not a scrapper? Create a quick piece of art to display on the fridge. It is fun to look back on these lists a few years down the road.

What fun to ride....The Polar Express

We love the Polar Express movie. It is a holiday staple in our home. My greatest wish is for my home to ooze the magic of the holiday season. Decorating for Christmas takes days and days, but what fun!

This year I was looking at fun day trips that we could do on the weekends and what to my wondering eyes should appear? The Polar Express departs from the Texas State Railroad depot in Palestine, Texas. Yes, you read that correctly. Last night, we departed on the 8:15 to the North Pole. I was so magical. There was hot cocoa, cookies, Christmas carols, elves, and Santa. My son loved his first gift of the season....the sleigh bell. We all heard the ring of that special bell!

I know that this will be a wonderful memory for all of us and hope your family can experience the same magic. The Polar Express runs select days through December. May you all Believe!
