Minivan Express Family Night!!

We had the best Minivan Express Family Night tonight! It was a huge success.


We printed off these cute tickets and taped them to a present 'new pj's' and put them on their beds. After dinner, we told them to go get their jammies on before family night. They went in and found their gifts and golden tickets.


They put on their new jammies and coats. Headed out to the 'minivan express'.


We went out to the express. Our conductor- Daddy, punched their golden tickets.


They hopped in to Christmas music playing van. We found blankets, chocolate milk, and bags of goodies in our seats. We also found jingle bell bracelets too.


We ate goodies, sang Christmas songs, rang our jingle bells and drove around to look at Christmas lights.


It was so fun! The kids LOVED it! Ava got her golden ticket and opened her pj's and danced around. She kept saying "I'm SO excited!" They loved it. I think we'll be making it a yearly tradition.
