When the Train pulled up it was AWESOME the kids were sooooo excited.



Getting on the train



Getting our golden tickets! Matthew thought this was cool



The conductor punching our tickets. It was cute he would punch the tickets over the kids so it would fall on their heads. Brandon thought it was funny.





Of course we had hot chocolate and cookies!



On our way to the North Pole they read the story to the kids and on the way back we sang christmas carols.


Of course Santa came on board and gave each child a magic bell.




Kyle loved his bells. He was just sitting there shaking both his bells while we were singing. He was really enjoying himself.



Getting off the train
Merry christmas. I am so glad we did this with the kids. My kids especially Matthew LOVE did I say LOVE the polar express. They know the songs and sing them daily. We have the book the movie and the music. It was such a magical night for them and that's what was so great about it, the look in their eyes as they went on this. I love it. They did a really good job.

That is the cutest thing ever!!! My boys would just love that! They need to get the Polar Express in Utah, it would be a big hit. I am so jealous that would have been such a great Holiday activity!
