talty polar express.

This set-up could only mean one thing!  The Talty Polar Express was ready to leave the station on December 20th!  Callynn stayed up to help us make preparations, but the big kids were so surprised :)

This is a quick look at our favorite house of the night…then home to hang the bells on the tree!

This little one was our big helper getting ready for a very special night around our house! She needed a little treat to hold her over ;)

a 2nd grade christmas.

On December 20th, I enjoyed catching Santa with my favorite second grader!  We also made a Christmas tree magnet, played Christmas bingo, and read a story, and had Christmas snacks.  What a fun class!

a very hendricks christmas.

On December 19th, Christmas was a hit at the Hendrick's!  And they were exhausted by the end of the night! (see last picture;)
