The North Pole!

Let the Christmas season begin!  Tonight we headed to Coeur d' Alene for the Christmas cruise to the North Pole and then out to dinner at our favorite restaurant, Tomato Street.  The kids thought it was great.  Everything is still so magical to them, and so a short trip on a boat truly did feel like we went to the North Pole and back!  It was even colder on the water, making it more believable!  

 Rudolf loved teasing Lilly, trying to take her hat on and off and Lilly thought it was great.

 Ready for our boat ride

 Hot Chocolate to keep us warm.

 Letters to Santa

 Listening to Santa.  He even read the kid's names on the "nice list"

 The moment Hayden hear his name read

 Caleb excited to hear that he was on the nice list too!
