family time

We had fun scheduled in downtown St. Charles today. First we watched the Polar Express at the Arcada Theatre for FREE!! With it bring free we arrived over an hour early to make sure we got the best seats in the house...legroom!

After the movie we went and found some food. With it being small business Saturday we ate at a local grill, The Beehive.

Then we went and had a free sleigh ride! The boys made friends with these two cute kids. Carson ended up sitting with them. 

Before we headed out to the electric parade Karlee made us all hot chocolate to keep us warm. We were soo grateful it was around 40 degrees. It could have been so much colder. 

The parade was fun!! These two were my favorite. There were a lot of floats with cub scouts and Girl Scouts. Both high schools had their bands march, they both sounded great!

I love these little trees that line the streets on the light poles. They are REAL trees! I'm sure it's a lot of work to put up every year. 

These activities were a first time for us. Everyone said they had fun. The day was a success!
