Polar Express

Last night we took the kids to Bryson City, NC to ride the Polar Express. They absolutely loved it and were at the right age to really enjoy it. We got there a little early and grabbed a bite to eat and looked around the town. We boarded the train at 6:30 and the kids were so excited to be able to wear their jammies on board. The train staff were dressed up and sang songs from the movie and then read the children the story of the Polar Express. After that we arrived at the North Pole and Santa came on board the train. He handed all of the kids bells and took pictures. Of course there was hot chocolate, candy, and caroling that made it even better. It was a great time and we look forward to going again next year!

Looking at lights

Well you know the Osborns LOVE lights! We have done our share of light looking this holiday season and the kids really enjoy it. Here are some photos from the Hollywild Zoo and this house we love to visit in Mauldin. Uncle Dan Dan & Aunt Lala have even been able to join us now that the are out of school!

Holiday Fun

Well is this month flying by or what? Seems like this was our busiest weekend and now it should be smooth sailing. On Thursday night we had the kids preschool Christmas program. They sang two songs and were so proud of themselves. It was precious. Then to wind down a busy weekend full of holiday parties we took the kids to see Santa and came home and decorated our gingerbread house. The kids loved Santa this year and were eager to sit in his lap which was a complete 180 from last year. Avery just kept on talking. When we asked her what she told him she wanted she said "a Sprite." We said "you asked for a can of Sprite and not the kitchen and baby bath tub you had been talking about?" and she insisted she wants Sprite now. Oh toddlers :) Hope your holidays are just as fun filled as ours have been thus far. More holiday updates to come I am sure!
