POLAR EXPRESS

Wednesday, December 16, 2009

We got to go on the Polar Express this past weekend. Can you say MAGICAL? Oh my! My girls were on cloud 9 as we sat on a train that was slowly making its way to the North Pole, drinking hot chocolate, and listening to the story of The Polar Express being read to us. The excitement of seeing the North Pole was almost more than they could stand! Then Santa came and got on the train! Their eyes were sparkling as he handed them their beautiful bell. Then the train headed toward the hotel as we sang Christmas songs the whole way back. It was a night to remember! They got to be their with all of their Winterton cousins(minus Dakota, next year!) and their Nana & Papa. Nana had made the girls matching p.j.'s and bought the boys their matching p.j.'s. They were feeling pretty special! It was so much fun to watch their excitement!The next day we found a sled park and played all day in the snow. Surprisingly, no one was seriously hurt! We had a few close calls though.

Noah would not put gloves on! I do know one thing, I would HATE to live where it snows! It was fun to VISIT. I don't know if I could endure the cold. It's amazing how we can drive three hours away and have drastically different weather!
