Polar Express

We are back from our yearly trip to the north pole and I have to say we had a blast! This is something we do every year and have been going since Brody was a baby and it gets better every year. We went with Harleys whole family along with all our nieces and nephews. The kids love going on the train and having hot chocolate and singing christmas carols. Santa joins us towards the end of the ride and hands out silver bells to all of the children. What a wonderful sound when ALL of the kids on the train are shaking their bells!! We Believe!! The elves on the train read the story Polar Express during the ride and all of the kids wear their jamies. Its just like the book if anyone has ever read it. It is such an awesome feeling when you see all the kids on the train see Santa and his reindeer. The North Pole has sooo many lights and is beautiful. This is definately a tradition we will do forever, even for my grandchildren!! This year was my niece Laylas first time going and the look on her face was priceless when she saw Santa. She was scared to death! The only thing missing on this trip was Cheryl and Scott and Jaden and Landyn. They usually go with us but this year Jaden and Landyn had a dance performance at Glendale Glitters. I was bummed I didn't get to see Landyns first dance performance but heard that she was AMAZING and ADORABLE. So was Jaden. But of course I wouldn't expect anything else!!
