Polar Express

My Mom got us all tickets to go on the Polar Express this year. She got all the grandkids matching pajamas and we all met at the Depot in Calera for the ride.My brother Matt, sister in law Kayla, and my two adorable nephews Tyler and Brody. Me and my clan. Hankie had to work extra that day, which seemed to be a running theme up through Christmas Day. We boarded the train and the kids immediately began looking for Santa. When the train ride began, the Polar Express story was told over the loud speakers. When we got to the end of the line, Santa's workshop was all lit up and Santa, Mrs. Claus and some elves came aboard the train. Sophie was just fine waving to Santa from a distance and saying 'ho, ho, ho," over and over.

And all of the boys did just fine seeing Santa up close and personal.Sophie was not quite so pleased to meet them. Neither was Brody for that matter!

After we saw Santa, they served us cookies and milk and passed out Polar Express ornaments to each child.
It was a really fun Christmas memory. And I loved that it was our whole family. If we do this next year, Hankie definitely has to come!
