Christmas Catch up - Polar Express

Our internet has been running slow and so we have not been able to upload Christmas pictures.  But we are finally back to speed and so here we are - one day after Christmas!!!

One of the advent activities for this year was to go ride the Polar Express.  This is one of the boys' favorite movies and getting to ride the train was very magical.  We left Caroline with a friend and drove to Palestine, TX about an hour east of us.  The ride was an hour round trip.  They got the real tickets that the conductor hole punched, hot chocolate, cookies, to see the north pole, pick up Santa, get the "first gift of Christmas", and to sing carols.  Very fun!!!

Before the train ride...beyond excited!!!
