James' Christmas Program

My little angel.  He sang the songs really well and knew all the actions.

Christmas Pajamas

Polar Express - After dinner, we cleaned up and put our pajamas on to go see the train cars visiting for the night.

Inside three cars, there were model trains, displays, ornaments, Santas, etc.

So glad we went, there was much to see!
