The Polar Express

My camera is at Nikon getting fixed, so I've been using the ol' Casio. Nice. Ignore the red-eye, etc, but I don't feel like editing pictures. Here is our wonderful little trip on the Polar Express! Liz bought our tickets two months ago because the tickets sell out in the first few hours. I'm glad she did! It was a great little train ride. All of the conductors and train operators were dressed up so nice. The kids all came in their pajamas and there were tap-dancing hot cocoa waitresses, the bum from on top of the train made many many appearances- he was very funny! Everyone got a cookie and hot cocoa (that wasn't exactly like the melted chocolate bars they talk about in the book:). We got to the North Pole and saw Santa and two elves outside of the widow waving, but then we left and Santa disappeared! Lily was heart-broken, she didn't think she's see Santa, but right before we pulled into the Station- Santa came on our car and passed out bells and talked with each of the kids. It was very sweet and special. Santa even whispered to Lily that he thought her bell came off of Rudolph's harness. She was so proud!

Here's the whole gang.


Nora was so precious to watch! She just smiled and looked around and enjoyed everything!
