Santa Train

All year round Santa Train (Polar Express) is one of the most viewed movies in our house.  The boys pretty much have the movie memorized and even Logan recognizes all of the songs and characters.  This year we bought our tickets early (in AUGUST!) because they sell out pretty quickly.  (Last year by the time Mommy checked out the tickets in November, it was already sold out!). 

We didn't tell the boys about the ride and they were extremely hyped up when they realized where we were going.  First we took a school bus ride from the parking lot to the train which in itself was a special treat for the boys.  Then we boarded the train and met up with some friends.  As soon as Logan saw the train, it was non-stop "ALL ABOARD".  The train ride took about 2 hours and we were entertained with readings, songs, and characters from the movie.  The kids even got their own hot chocolate, cookies and jingle bells.  They also saw Santa and took pictures with him.  This time around, Logan was so happy with the whole experience that he quickly sat on Santa's lap for a nice picture.

It was such a special treat and seeing their little happy faces light up made the experience so magical for Mommy and Daddy.
