I remember when Cory and I got serious and spent Christmases together, I would make him watch it with me, much to his dismay! The trade off was that I had to watch his favorite Christmas movie, Best Christmas Pageant Ever. Fun times and fun memories!Well this year, I think we have started our own Reid Family Tradition. Since Carter is older this Christmas and can participate in more stuff, we all sat down and watched Polar Express Friday night. It has a been a big hit in seasons past, because of the train obsession here! But Caden and Carter both napped Friday afternoon, so they got to stay up late, eat popcorn, and watch a movie! All 5 of us watched it together and I really had a great time. I know it is a Santa movie, but I still believe in Santa and so enjoy "the magic of Christmas".
It was fun to share this time with our boys. I truly hope it becomes a tradition with them and I hope our boys enjoyed watching it and it becomes a good family memory for them, like White Christmas was for me!
Ignore the crazy red eye - can't get it out for some reason. And this isn't the best pic of me, I was eating popcorn, you know! We were all in our jammies and I wanted it documented!

When I was growing up, it seemed like we watched Miracle on 34th Street every Thanksgiving Day! I didn't watch White Christmas till I was an adult and I love that movie!
