All Aboard the Polar Express

The preschooler and Wild Thing put on their pajamas and boarded the Polar Express with snow flakes falling lightly around it.
The train was filled with other children, all in their pajamas and nightgowns. We sang Christmas carols and ate cookies with hot chocolate as we listened to the story.



We saw elves dancing and moving all around the North Pole. When the Polar Express could go no farther, we stopped and Santa came on board to give all the children the first gift of Christmas.

The conductor came though the cabin to punch the initials of each child in his/her ticket.

Soon we were on our way home and the preschooler almost lost his silver bell while visiting Solar and TW. It broke the preschoolers heart to think he had lost his bell, but TW delivered the bell and he has been shaking it ever since. Thank you TW!
Merry Christmas!

Alison we did the same thing last night, except our train went to the 'North Pole' at the Grand Canyon. Noah had a blast! I think the girls did too, but they are too cool to admit it! Looks like baby C was not too happy to see the man in red. We miss you guys...
