Polar Express - 2014

We had our annual trip to the North Pole today! We skipped last year since Henry was getting a little less into it and Elliot was too young to understand, but figured we needed to get back into the swing of things this year. Elliot lacks the extreme passion for trains that made The Polar Express such a favorite for Henry, but he was still excited to go and see Santa again.

So we got the kids into the special holiday PJs and off we went!

On board the kids wrote their letters to Santa:

Listened to a reading of "'Twas the Night Before Christmas":

Sang carols (Henry got to lead off "The Twelve Days of Christmas" on the microphone and held up the card for 6 Swans a Swimmin'....he was very proud):

And of course were very excited to spot Rudolph, Frosty, and the elves as they came by:

And, of course, Santa!
