The Polar Express!

I decided that it would be fun to do things a little different this year. So I decided to get us tickets on the Polar Express. Mike and Blake stayed back in the hotel, it was 34 degrees outside and I knew that Boozer would be miserable cold. So MoMo, Lily and I went with Amber, Baylee and MiMi(Amber's mother in law). We had a blast riding in first class on the Polar Express.

Above is the fit Lily decided to throw because I would not let her take her blankie and pillow for the CHOO CHOO ride.

Trying to get Baylee and Lily to sit together for a cute picture (not easy with these busy bodies)

Here comes the CHOO CHOO!

Hot Cocoa with sprinkles for all the first class riders. 

The Polar Express was read to us while we headed to the North Pole. 

A yummy brownie while we sat and listened to the story.

OH NO, Baylee spotted Santa coming on the train. 

Lily's reaction to the white beared man. 

And the first present of the year, a bell!

Reading and singing along with the Christmas Carols. 

Baylee relaxing after Santa left. 

The conductor made his way to us to check our tickets. 

This was a lot of fun for Lily. The train took us to the North Pole where we got to look through the window at where Santa lives during the year, and where he is busy with his elves making all the childrens toys. Although it was freezing, Lily and Baylee had a wonderful time and got to bond!

Thankful for my family and my dear friends!

 I love my mommy, I could not imagine my life without this wonderful woman in it.  I am truly so lucky to have her. 

 I am thankful for this angel that I was given, her smile makes my heart melt.  She truly is the sweetest little baby I know!

 You would never guess that only a day before she had tubes put in her little ears, such a happy baby. 

 I am thankful for my wonderful husband and my best friend Jules.  I am thankful for the years that Julie and spent apart, so we could cherish each other so much more once we were back together.

 I am thankful for Julie marrying Justin and bringing him into our lives, what a good soul this guy has. 

 I am thankful that Blake has Julie as her Godmomma, I know that they will forever be close. 

 I am thankful for the father that Mike Fryar has become.  He truly amazes me everyday. 

 I am thankful for Lily Fryar, she is a handful at times, but also the sweetest girl I know.  She says and does the funniest things that make me laugh.  I thank her for giving me purpose each and everyday. 

I am thankful for so many things. I am truly a lucky girl to be surrounded by such amazing people.  It took years to get to where I am, and I am so thankful that I have been given people that truly love me for me.
