Christmas with the Cormiers

This Christmas was absolutely wonderful because EVERYONE was here!! My Uncle surprised us by bringing my grandparents in from Louisiana to spend Christmas day with all of us- what a true Christmas blessing! My brother, both my sisters with their husbands, and my 4 nephews were here as well. Seven little boys together for the holidays made for lots of fun, and memories we'll cherish forever!

Christmas in Plano

We spent the weekend before Christmas with Scott's side of our family. We opened gifts, had dinner and lots of goodies. On Sunday we went to the Bass Pro Shop and saw Santa. That night we took them all to Main Event for Parker & Pierce's first bowling experience~ they loved it!

Christmas Fun~ The Polar Express

On the morning of December 22nd, Parker, Pierce, and Peyton received a letter from Santa inviting them to join him for a ride on the Polar Express to the North Pole.

Evidently, Ty and Zach had been good little boys, too, because they were also invited to ride the Polar Express! The boys anxiously await the arrival of the train to take them to their destination.

Once we were all aboard the Polar Express, waiters served hot chocolate and treats to all the guests. Following the reading of the Polar Express, there was dancing in the aisles!

The conductor punched the tickets of all the passengers aboard the Polar Express.

Santa gave bells to all the children who believe!
