About 2 1/2 hours from here, in Palestine, the Texas State Railroad has a Polar Express around Christmastime. We'd never been, but heard it was a lot of fun for the kids. We decided to take Brock and Ryan this year and it was as good as we'd heard. The boys had a great time and it was so much fun getting in that Christmas spirit.

Christmas Tree
Putting up the Christmas tree this year was fun because, for the first time, both of the boys were old enough to really get into it and have fun. We give the boys an ornament every year. This year Brock got Star Wars: Clone Wars and Ryan got Batman (imagine that!).

Cookies for Santa and carrots for his reindeer.
Steve's family came to celebrate with us. 
The entire O'Neal family except for our sweet nephew, Logan.
Santa brought a Wii for our family. Here's Brock golfing.
Ryan with his "Yoda stuffed animal." He wanted this Yoda so badly. For about 2 months before Christmas, almost every night when I would ask Ryan what he wanted to thank God for, he would say, "Thank you God for the Yoda stuffed animal that Santa is going to bring me!" Thank goodness Santa knew just where to find it!!
The aftermath.
