The Polar Express

If you haven't been on this Christmas Adventure it's a must! We went this weekend, and Dru and Cooper had a ball. This is something we will continue from year to year, I'm sure. With the kids in their pj's and house coats, we boarded a train for a 30 min ride to the North Pole, while sipping hot chocolate and eating snacks from Santa's helpers along the way. We listened, as the Polar Express was read; some of us had books and followed along. (If you go on this trip I highly recommend taking a copy of the book, the boys loved to follow along with the reading.) We made it to a village light up with tons of Christmas lights and saw Santa in the sleigh with all the reindeer. Santa boarded our train and made his way from car to car. It was exciting to watch the boys, when they knew Santa was getting closer. Finally, Santa arrived in our car and made his way through handing out jingle bells to the kids. He posed for a picture with Dru and Cooper then headed throughout the rest of the train. On the way back from the North Pole we sang Christmas Carols and rang our jingle bells. Wow, what a night! I don't think Dru and Cooper will forget it for a long time.
