Annual Polar Express Party!

National Cocoa Day, December 13th.  Great day for our annual Polar Express Party.  Nichole remembers two years ago when we moved the furniture around to make a booth on a train to sit at with hot chocolate and oranges.  She was insistent that we do that again, though she was happy about having Clementines to go with our hot chocolate this year.

We did move a couple pieces of the couch and put a tablecloth over a crate to set our food on.  And we watched the movie, The Polar Express.  Mostly.  Both Nichole and Jr. had books they couldn't put down so they kept going back to reading during parts of the movie.  So cute.

The kids wanted jumbo marshmallows in their hot chocolate (which don't melt that quickly), so after they drank their drinks, they took forks to hold their marshmallows while they ate them.  Tee Hee.

Jr. was way too tired after the movie for us to read the book, The Polar Express, so we'll have to do that tomorrow.
