Polar express movie

The Thomas the Train snack train I made for my son's third birthday. It was so easy and cheap to make. It's just 3, two packs of aluminum loaf pans from Walmart at 2.50 each (mine came with plastic lids-great for leftovers), a roll of black electrical tape (.60 cents) and of course, Thomas. We had our Thomas, didn't have to buy one.

Doing some blog browsing tonight and found the cutest North Pole Candy Sticks at Karas Party Ideas. Such a cute way to use a simple item....peppermint sticks, a bit of frosting, M & M and little sign. Cute...cute! You could always make different little signs... Santa Stop Here, Reindeer Crossing, etc. I'm always so impressed at the blogs out there! So many are moms with small children, some working at home and actually earning some money with their blogs. The creativity is amazing! Photos…

We are out for Christmas break! WOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOO! We love our jobs, but our pajamas have been missing us. We plan on reuniting over the break and spending lots of time sleeping in, snuggling with the fam watching Christmas movies, and spending time with the rest of our crazy families. We did not want to miss showing you the kid-made versions of the North Pole ornaments we posted about a week ago It's Beginning to look a LOT like Christmas! . Their versions are just so much dang cuter…

My take on the Polar Express tickets. We printed them on gold paper.
