Baking Cookies for Santa

William and James made sugar cookies for Santa! They made trains, gingerbread men, candy canes and trees. William's favorite part was the sprinkles and sugar...

Ha, Hope Santa is not Diabetic!

William and James ventured out in their Christmas jammies to New Haven, KY to catch the Polar Express last night. The boys were very excited to go to the North Pole but a little nervous to see Santa again...

James says Bring on that Santa Man, I'm ready this time!

William telling James about the North Pole and what he will see there!

All ABOARD!!!!! Daddy and William ready to board the Polar Express!

The Polar Express was very crowded! Let the journey to the North Pole Begin!

And... We're Off!

The Conductor then came and punched our tickets!

HOT HOT... HOT CHOCOLATE!!

He even did a little dance for us!

We're HERE!!! We're HERE!!!! We made it to the North Pole!!!

But I can't see Santa... Where is he???

That Crazy Rudolph came aboard!!

It's SANTA!!!!

William was so exhausted he slept until 8 am! But the first thing out of his mouth was can I have my Hot Chocolate??

The Ballard Boys meet Santa...

It didn't go so well!

Daddy asked William if he told Santa what he wanted for Christmas, William said "Oh, I forgot...I was distracted" "With what", Daddy asked, "Screaming and Crying?" He said "Yeah..."
