The Polar Express

In typical Wells fashion we decided just days ago to join Kelley and her family in Portland, Maine to go on the Polar Express train (from the movie).  They have been talking about it for years and we have been thinking about it for months, but we like to do things by the seat of our pants!
Well they were right, what a fun weekend!  The Polar Express train was ridiculously fun and pretty darn close to the movie if you asked me.  All of the money went to the train museum in Portland and all of the actors were volunteers and all of the treats were donated.  We even left with a special reindeer bell and collectible mug.  The kids got into their jammies (just like the movie), sang songs, drank hot chocolate, ate cookies and even got to talk to (or just high five) Santa.  Back at the hotel, we put the kids to bed for some adult time with friends!

Singing the ABC's

So I finally got it on camera although it isn't his best effort. For those of you who have been around us recently, you know how Rich sings the ABC song ALL DAY LONG. It is obviously his favorite song and he is really good at it! In this video he misses a lot of the letters because he does not want to be taped. But he literally knows all the letters and the ending. I guess he was developing his verbal skills when he was sitting on his bottom for all those months NOT crawling. This was taken this morning and I had to bribe his with a cookie. It was only 9 am, but it was the only way I could get him to do it for the camera.

An absolutely beautiful day for my Angela Jane!  She looked absolutely gorgeous and she couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.  She celebrated with her family and then with friends who feel like family now.  We are truly blessed! Brunch with family at Monica's and then a bbq at the Crocini's. How cute is she with her bbf's?!?!?!

Celtics courtside!!

Image
At 5:00 Chris got a call from a customer (who happens to live across the street), asking if we wanted his seats for the pre-season Celtics game tonight.  Of course we do!  Yes, it was the first game of the World Series and the Red Sox were playing, but you still can't beat going to a game. Chris had a feeling this guy had good seats, but when we arrived at Row A the kids were ecstatic.  Courtside, directly behind the players seats!  It was so awesome!   They were just feet from us and they were huge.  We could hear the plays they were going to run and then watched them run them.  Angela didn't love the seats because we were almost too close and she had trouble seeing over the 6'7" players!  The game was on ESPN and we were so close to the court that we were also on TV a lot.  My Mom was able to tell me what we were wearing because she watched it.  I found a quick link below.  You can see how close we were. ...
