Tonight we went to the Polar Express! Stephanie bought the whole family tickets for Sunday night. We couldn't anticipate that the weather would make it impossible for the Hendricks, Nana, Papaw & Kelley couldn't make the dangerous drive back to DC because of the weather.
Stephanie gave her tickets to my friend Kristen and her family. It meant the world to them & the kids had a blast!!
We got there just in time to board. Caroline presented our tickets to the conductor. She looks very serious in this picture. "Here you go sir, I believe they are all accounted for...."
They brought us hot chocolate and cookies then Liam Neeson started reading the book The Polar Express. When we read the book at home Caroline always wants to read the page with the wolves on it over and over. Sadly no wolves showed up during the experience.
Kristen, Evyn and I enjoyed some hot chocolate! We finally made it to the North Pole and guess what?!? Santa and his Elves boarded the train!
Santa asked Caroline what she wanted for Christmas. She wanted him to stay at a safe distance but took the bell from him and said "thank you" very quietly.
We sang Jingle Bells and Caroline got a chance to play her sleigh bell. She rang that sucker out. We had such a fun time! I know Caroline loved it. I have a feeling she will love Santa after this Christmas. She has been so good this year so I'm thinking Santa will bring that kitchen she has been asking for.
Thank you so much Stephanie, we will be doing this next year.
That sounds so fun!
