Because we are not sure when it will happen again and we are driving distance away from Pasadena....we are heading to CA for the Rose Bowl to watch Ohio State! We debated about leaving the kids home for a few days with our babysitter, but decided we would take them and go see Mickey for New Year's Eve. So now I am going to be busy getting us packed and make sure there are enough things to keep the kids busy for a 6-7 hour car ride!

Playing in the Snow!
The main reason for our trip was to see this guy....
We brought our "Polar Express" book and the kids wore their pjs for the train ride.
Andrew was so excited on the train. They served us hot chocolate and cookies.
We took the train to the North Pole. Santa got on the train and brought all the kids bells.
We had only planned on staying one night in Flagstaff, but the hotel sent us a deal for another night that we couldn't pass up. So we headed up to play in the snow for an extra day!
Andrew had a blast playing in the snow. The girls loved sledding. The weather the first two days we were there was in the low 40s. Not warm enough for all their snow to melt, but not cold enough to make things miserable.

East Valley Conference Champs!
In all my years of coaching and running, I think I have only seen one cross country race ever restarted. This meet, they restarted BOTH the girls' and the boys' race. I'm still not sure why, but Christine was happy. She thought she got a better start the second time!
The meet in pictures....
Courtney, the first Payne girl, with at least a half-mile to go. She was fourth overall.
The second Payne girl-5th overall.
Three, four and five for Payne with company from another team.
