Christmas Fun 2009

The Polar Express

On December 5th, after Ethan's soccer game, we headed up the mountain to Williams, Arizona with some friends to go on the Polar Express. It's a short train ride to visit the North Pole and have a little encounter with Santa. They served hot cocoa and cookies on the train and read the book The Polar Express and we sang Christmas songs. It was very magical and the kids and I really loved it. Sadly, Daddy couldn't come along since he had to work, but we still had fun and took lots of pictures to show him and tell the story...

Ethan's last soccer game of Fall

Ethan played in his last soccer game of the Fall '09 season on Saturday, Dec. 5th. Although his team did not win this game (or very many others this season), he had a great time, learned a lot, and made some new friends. He LOVES his new trophy - a soccer head bobble head - and really? That's what it's all about. The trophy. Fortunately, Grandpa Clarence was back in town to catch the last game. Unfortunately, it was the COLDEST one by far. Our game was at 8am and it was 35 degrees on the field. We bundled up and cheered on the Hornets one last time.
