11/26/11: The Polar Express

This was right when they turned the lights out...haha

Today was the Polar Express ride to the North Pole. Morgan has been so excited for this for weeks.  We've watched the movie at least 10 times before today.  Morgan knows the words to all the songs and loves to sing them to (and with!) me. While we enjoyed our time this year, I think it was more organized and more enjoyable last year. 

The point is the girls enjoyed themselves. Morgan kept asking for the hot chocolate from the minute the train left the station. We got to hear the story read to us by the elves.  Shortly after they served us our cookies and hot chocolate. As much as she asked for it she didn't care that much for her hot chocolate.  Rylee on the other hand dove right in to hers. After that we were at the North Pole!  All the elves and reindeer were out waving at the kids and even Santa and Mrs. Claus drove by in their sleigh.

Santa even got on the Polar Express and took pictures with the kids and gave them each a bell.  I will say this particular Santa was not friendly by any means which is why the kids do not look thrilled to be sitting with him. I was a bit disappointed. After that we were on our way back but before we reached the station the kids got to put on a pajama fashion show.

As noted by our last picture the kids really enjoyed themselves..;)  In reality they did enjoy themselves but it was past bedtime at this point and they were ready to go.

Now that today is over we are free to have this baby at any time!
