Christmas with our Jolly Cousins

Our San Diego cousins were in town for two weeks over Christmas break.  The kids had so much fun playing with them. 

First we went to see the trains at Northpark. 

 

Both sets of siblings had their own train.  We found Wyatt and Luke's pretty easily, since it was lined up on a wall.

 

Caden and Annabelle's train was on the tracks.  One of the workers helped us locate it.  

 

We also went to Build-A-Bear, while we were at the mall that day.  Caden building his bear.

 

Annabelle building her bear. 

 

The kids with their animals. 

We also saw a puppet show at the mall.  That night the kids set up their own puppet show at home.  It was so cute! 

 

One day we went to ride the Polar Express in Grapevine.  A family selfie on the train. 

One of the workers took a picture of all of us on the train. 

 

It was snowing when we arrived at the North Pole. The snow smelled like peppermint.

We celebrated Christmas with the Jolly side of the family on Christmas Eve.  A pic on the couch before we opened presents.
