Last night was enough excitement for the whole weekend. After getting Allie ready for school, I told the girls we had a surprise and let them open a gift. It was pajamas, and Allie figured out very quickly what that meant..the Polar Express! We did this train ride last year, and she was so excited to go back.
What could it be?
We're ready to go! We left right after school and didn't account for after school traffic or something. We were trying to catch the 5:10 train, and we arrived at the depot literally at 5:06. I was about to have a heart attack, and the hubs was his normal "this was perfect planning..we'll walk right on and not have to wait" self. They were blowing the whistle as we were all RUNNING to get on!! Our neighbors went too, so we were just trying to enhance the experience for them.
Hot chocolate!
Typical family pic...Mary is not looking. We left Garrett behind...which is a good thing because we definitely would have missed it if we had to lug him around.
They just saw Santa get on! All "E" wants for Christmas is his two front teeth!
Mary was very unsure, and Santa made a valiant effort to get her to smile. She had more of a "just give me the bell and go" attitude, but was secretly very excited.
See!

Looks like fun! Where did you go? I've heard of the Polar Express, but never heard where it is.
What a fun Christmas tradition and memory!
How fun! Where is the Polar Express?
That is VERY sweet! Talk about a kid's imagination come to life... What a great experience for ALL of you (because I bet you and Faber enjoyed it just as much as the girls did...using them for YOUR FUN is a great excuse! :)) Love you! Jenn
