All Aboard The Polar Express!!!

Last night we went a ride on the Polar Express to the North Pole. It was so much fun! Alex and I decided not to tell the kids what we were doing. We just told them that we had to leave at 6:00pm sharp and that they needed to have their pajamas on. They didn't have a clue as to what we were doing. For the entire hour drive to Heber they asked if we were doing this or that. Our answer was always "I don't know." When we arrived at the train station, Sage said "we are getting on a train!" and once we got inside the station they read on the departure and arrival board that our train, "The Polar Express" was going to the North Pole. It was so exciting, even in the absolutely freezing cold.

They served cookies and hot cocoa, and the host let Sage and Alexa help lead the Christmas songs on the microphone, which they really enjoyed. The elves danced with all of our kids too!!! Once we got to the North Pole, Mrs. Claus came by to see us and then Santa Claus who gave every child the "first gift of Christmas." My kids really had a lot of fun. Everyone on board got a copy of the Polar Express book to read along with the Host. Our whole family had a lot of fun. It was worth not getting Sage's and Alexa's book reports turned in on time (they were due today).
