All Aboard the Polar Express!

We had a fun opportunity this year with my family to ride the Polar Express to the North Pole a few days before Christmas to see Santa!

My bro with his cute daughter Marly Sue

A rare whole group (minus me) shot

Super Sweet Maddi Jo

This was the entrance to our train car...                                                         Marly & Maddi

Kiera Bear and Grandpa

Jade & Uncle Troy

Cute Cousins

My little Bear...

It was a little cold on the train...here we are about to take off for the North Pole! Jade kept saying, "I don't like the North Pole...I don't want to see Santa."

They gave the kids nametags and mine decided to wear them on their heads!

Cole, Manda, Marly & Mitch

Jade immediately spotted this little elf hiding in the garland near the top of the window.  She thought it was her elf Christopher...then she settled for calling it little Christopher, but she did not take her eyes off of it the whole trip!

Thanks for a fun ride Grandma & Grandpa! What a great memory was created today!


The elves on the train passed out cookies...
                                                               

and of course...hot chocolate...yummy!

Having lots of fun with her cousins she rarely sees...

A look out the window to see Santa when we got to the North Pole...


Next they passed out "Rudolph" noses to all of the kids and we sung Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.  The kids loved their noses!


Marly & Kiera kept touching each other's noses... it was cute to see these two interact.

Jade had me try on her Rudolph nose...

Finally, Santa arrived in our train car...first Aunt Kae gets a hug!

Then Jade lept up to give Santa a big hug...so much for not wanting to go to the North Pole!!

Kiera was a bit more wary...

Even Daddy and Grandma got hugs...


Kiera was enthralled with her new bell that she got from Santa.


Caught him...finally got a pic of Grandpa dozing off!

Next we got a visit from Mrs. Claus and Jade was just as mezmorized by her!

Fun times on the train...don't worry Kiera stuck that bell in her mouth every single chance she got!
