Ben wasn't too crazy about Santa this year, but luckily Mrs. Claus was there so we could get a photo of all 3 boys.

Polar Express


We signed the boys, Corey & Ella Grace out of school early and surprised them with tickets for a ride on the Polar Express leaving out of Bryson City. They were very excited. We took them 3 years ago. This year we rented a cabin and spent the night. It was a lot of fun.
