Makenna giving Santa a big hug. She told him she wants baby dolls for Christmas and a Pony. We think the baby doll is possible, not sure about the pony. =)

Matt and I took Mark and Makenna down to a Polar Express train ride in Connersville, IN last weekend. We met my sister, Doug, and Madison so the kids could have a great time riding the train together. They all had a great time. I think Mark probably enjoyed it more than Makenna just b/c he is older and understands it a little better. They read through the story, were served hot chocolate, a cookie, and then when we got up to the "North Pole" Santa came out of his Workshop and boarded the train. He came and sat with each kid and asked them what they wanted for Christmas. Then he gave each of them the first gift of Christmas...A jingle bell. They were so excited. We all had a great time!
