ALL ABOARD... The Polar Express...

We took the kids on the Polar Express! It was really fun... we all loved it and I think we will be making it a Christmas tradition. We arrived and boarded the train. Welcomed by Elves named Figgy and Winky which the girls just loved. They had bright costumes and make-up! We were given Big Fat Warm Yummy Chocolate Chip Cookies and soon followed Hot Chocolate... As we watched out the window and spotted DEER with Daddy the Elves sang Christmas Carols and told jokes! Soon we were visted by Mrs Clause... Then the Conductor came by to make sure we had our tickets punched. THEN THE BIG SURPRISE... SANTA CLAUSE!!! He was a very cute Santa... Emma would have nothing to do with him but Brook was ready to tell him what she wanted for Christmas. She said I WANT A PINK BARBIE JEEP and he said a Barbie Jeep huh, and she said a PINK one Santa!!! Oh soooooo cute!!! He gave her a bell (like in the book and movie) then a candy cane! She grinned from ear to ear!!! It was a magical night to remember... Grampa and Grama took us to eat after at the Train Cafe'. It's moments like those that make life sparkle when you feel you're in the dark.... Can't wait for Christmas!!! It's going to be soon... and I think Santa heard the wish for the Barbie Jeeps, but somehow we got stuck with the bill... hhhmmm.... ha ha ha! or ho ho ho is it...
