"Rudolph Guys": A Thanksgiving Morning Tradition

It wouldn't be Thanksgiving morning without two things:  the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and Rudolph Guys!  : )  (And, actually, this year I added another tradition, ... the old Osh Kosh Bgosh commercial from when I was little.  Macy's always used to play that commercial over and over during the station breaks.  Cute song.  I wanted my kids to see it, too.  Click here to see it.

Riding the Polar Express

Today was a  VERY special day because the girls got to live the dream of one of their very favorite Christmas movies:  The Polar Express! They each got a special "real" polar express ticket, just like in the book and the movie, and we boarded the train in our pajamas!  It wasn't long before we were singing Christmas carols, sipping hot chocolate, and visiting with the special hobo "angel" and Santa Claus himself! 

The Museum of the Cherokee Indian

Earlier in the year, Leia Rose studied Native Americans in school with an emphasis on the Cherokee Indian.  Today we traveled to the Cherokee Indian museum and learned all about this beautiful tribe.  Ironically, Annie's teacher, Shana, is a member of the Cherokee Nation ... AND we happened to SEE HER THERE!  What a small world.
