The Polar Express

A couple of weeks ago, we got to ride the Polar Express with my family. It was an early Christmas present from my parents and we had a great time! My mom made a calendar for every family to count down the days until our magical ride. Lia and Laura couldn't have been more excited and Josh couldn't stop talking about riding on a train (although I had to tell him on more than one occasion that it wasn't the Dinosaur Train and there weren't going to be any dinosaurs--he had to settle for Santa instead). Megan got to meet Santa for the first time and was such a good girl the whole time. It was great to be there with my family and see the kids so excited and having fun with their cousins. Poor Laura had been miserably sick the few days before (and fell asleep on the way back from the North Pole), but thankfully was well enough to go. Thanks mom and dad for the fun night! What a great way to start off the season.
