Yesterday, we told the girls we were going on a secret adventure. Before we left, we read them "The Polar Express", put them in their new jammies, watched "The Polar Express" in the car and then asked them what they thought we were doing....they hadn't gotten any of the hints, I guess, so we had to tell them...we were going on the SANTA EXPRESS! Lizzie's reply was, "That's not very exciting." :)
But then we pulled into the train station and saw the train all lit up and the inside of all the cars were decorated AND we were served hot chocolate, cookies, and the girls got their favorite fast food...corn dogs! Then Lizzie said, "This is FUN!" The train went for a little ways and then the conductor yelled, "Look we're in the North Pole and there is Santa!" Santa got on our train and gave all the kids silver bells! Ali hugged hers tight and said, "It's just like the book! The book must be real!"
Then Santa's elves sang songs with the kids, read a story, and we even saw Rudolph's Red Nose shining in the distance! Oh, I love the ages that my kids are right now...it's SO fun!
