North Pole Express

Our friend, Kelly, emailed me early this summer to tell us about the North Pole Express.  The tickets sell out fast, so she got a group of twenty and we were lucky enough to get in on her deal!

 The boys were so excited.  Our tickets were for 5:00 pm.  They got into their jammies right after church.

 The were proud of their "Genuine ticket to ride!" The conductor punched the ticket for them.

Santa, Mrs. Claus, and a few elves were waiting at the North Pole for us.  Ethan is beginning to ask questions.  He asked all day if we were going to the real North Pole.  I kept saying, "I don't know.  I haven't been there before."  When we pulled up to the North Pole, Ethan said, "HUH-Nice trick everyone!"  Luckily, it was loud and Link didn't hear him.   Santa and Mrs. Claus came aboard the train and took pictures with all the kids.  Ethan said he thinks this is the real Santa.The elves brought an ornament and a key for everyone.  A chef came aboard and passed out cookies and chocolate milk.

 

 It was super cold on the train, so Nate and I got a lot of cuddling in!  We had a great time.   It was a great memory to make this Christmas season!
