Polar Express

The Tuesday before Thanksgiving the boys and I went up to Heber to ride on the Polar Express with some of my aunts and cousins. The boys were so excited to go and ride on the train. They were all wearing their pajamas just like in the book.  The train ride followed the book pretty accurately, they fed us treats, we sang songs and Santa even came to visit and give us bells.  Isaac wanted nothing to do with Santa and the closer Santa got to us the louder he yelled.  But for the most part he enjoyed the ride.

  The best part about the whole trip was how my kids make-believed about the ride the next day.  They carried their bells where ever we went, we sang Christmas carols in the van that was now a train and kept a look out for Santa, the two older boys hoping to see him and Isaac relieved when we never did.  It was a fun was to get ready for the Christmas season.
