I got an idea from a blog to surprise the kids with "The Minivan Express".  To make it a surprise we had them get their jammies on and Derek would read them The Polar Express.  On the second page were 3 golden tickets to The Minivan Express!  They were so excited thinking they were really going on the Polar Express but just as excited to go in the minivan.  I had popped popcorn and made hot chocolate and Derek punched their tickets as they got in.  We drove to our favorite house of lights.

The lights are set up to go along with music and  plays videos too.  We have been a few times since we have lived here and it's always so cool every year.  This year we saw 3 families/friends from our ward there too!

Bryanna says it was impressive and super cool!
