Christmas was so fun this year, we were able to do so many outings to get everyone in the Christmas spirit. A few nights for before Christmas I laminated and printed these golden tickets. The idea was a spin off from the Polar Express but it was the Minivan Express to go see Christmas lights. I hid them in a book I set out read that night. While I got the girls ready for bed, Jake made popcorn, hot chocolate and got the minivan warmed up. I finally settled the girls down and read my story and when we got to a certain page the tickets fell out. I had to explain what they said because they can't really read yet. They were very excited. We all hoped in the car even Molly and drove around and saw Christmas lights. We even stopped by a couple of places that had these huge light shows all coordinated with music you could listen to in the car. Next year we will do it again but probably travel to Seattle for some really cool neighborhoods that all do lights. This will definately become a tradition for us. I can't take all the credit for this idea, pinterest helped on this one.
