All Aboard!!!!

Last weekend we had the priveledge of taking the boys to the North Pole via the Polar Express! We had such a great time! It was fun to be with our family/cousins and to watch the awe from the boys.

We sang songs.

We drank hot chocolate.

We wore our PJ's.

We rode on a real train!

We saw Santa.

We got a bell.

We heard the bell.

What a privelege it is to be a parent.

Cousin P. had his golden ticket!

The boys were checking it out!

They each had their own ticket!

Sullivan watches out the window as the train is about to start.

Camden loved the lights.

(I love this one because you can see the conductor out of the window)

They served us yummy hot chocolate and a cookie!
They each got a bell.

They danced.

They got to meet the train conductor.

It was fun to spend time with our family!

Seven.

As I have shared in other posts, when my boys were born a bond was formed. Not only was this bond between our family (and our newest additions), but also between friends. We have made such great friends with a few families. We share the common bond of not only the NICU experience but also having twins. These moms are so special to me. We hope to be able to share in this journey together for a really long time.

So...yesterday we had our little playdate Christmas party. I think this sums it up. When we left we all looked at each other and (in a very proud manner) said "I think the kids were all very good." Suddenly we all laughed a little bit and then realized that while yes, they were very good....our expectations of what it will be like with SEVEN children under the age of 2 have changed...just a bit! So, although we moms didnt sit around quietly sipping coffee while the children played nicely on the floor (haha!), we had a wonderful time!

(and yes, there are seven babies. yeah for siblings of twins!)

Rockin' around the Christmas tree...(literally)

The boys literally got to "rock around the Christmas tree" thanks to their grandma and grandpa. Their Grandpa made them (yes...made them...he is so good!) their very own rocking horses! Such lucky little boys.

They LOVED them!
