Polar Express

We took the kids to go see Santa and the North Pole on the Polar Express. They were so excited when they finally figured out where we were going. Everyone was so good on the train, and we had so much fun!Jacob was the most excited, due to his love of riding trains.

The conductor was so cute, and the kids were excited they got their tickets punched "just like on the movie!"
The kids were in heaven with their hot chocolate and cookies.
We rode on the train for 45 minutes out to the North Pole. Everyone was so excited to see Santa Claus out the windows! He went from car to car on the ride back, and spent time with each child.
There really was something magical about the trip. I could tell because Jacob actually sang the songs on the train, talked into the microphone, and talked to Santa!! It was such a nice night, and perfect way to start the Christmas season!!

What a good mommy you are to build memories with your kids. The best part was hearing about Jacob showing his excitement. Sounds like it was fun.

You are so lucky you got tickets. By the time I found out about it they were all sold out. I am glad you liked it, I'll have to check into it earlier next year.

HOW FUN! I have always wanted to do that with our kids. We just haven't gotten around to it and when you have 5 kids it gets a little pricey too...but it looks like it's worth it!
