Surprise from Annabell

Usually every year for Christmas Annabell has the kids over and they decorate gingerbread houses.  This year she decided to give them a different surprise.  She surprised them by buying tickets so they could ride on the "Polar Express".  They were so excited to go, especially Ryan and Abigail.  We had a wonderful time and the kids loved it.  Tyson ended up not feeling so well, so unfortunately he spent a lot of time in the bathroom, but everyone else enjoyed themselves.  I wish I had more pictures, but my camera ran out of batteries (hate it when that happens).  Here is one of the pictures I got.

As you can see from the picture Tyson even missed the visit from Santa, but as Santa got ready to leave he came back and talked to Tyson. Ryan and Abigail talk about this almost everyday. They are amazed that we rode clear to the North Pole. Justin was not so impressed by the North Pole, he looked out the train window and said, "That is cotton on the ground not snow!" We are so thankful for Annabell's generosity!
