All Aboard...

The kids had been waiting for this day to arrive for quite a while. We had a huge countdown going on at our house; counting down the days until we boarded the Polar Express, and the day finally arrived. We met my friend, Elanna, and her kids in Henderson where they live, loaded up, and travelled about an hour to the Palestine Railroad Depot. The night was so magical and followed the movie to a T. I am certain this won't be the last time we hop aboard the Polar Express. What a great time we had!!
The conductor punched the tickets just as fast as Tom Hank's voice-over character did in the movie. It was pretty neat!
Hot chocolate and cookie time-"Here we only have one rule...never ever let it cool!!"





Then, it was Polar Express story time... Elanna and I with our youngest babies, Jaxon and Jaedyn. Jordyn, Faith, and Joe (Elanna's younger brother).

That looks like so much fun! Jameson loved the movie and I think this might be something we have to do next year when Luke can enjoy it a bit more!
