The Polar Express

On Friday after Thanksgiving, we headed to our annual ride on the Polar Express - except this year it was called the North Pole Express and we loved it just the same.  It was the same type of story, but the kids got a key as their special gift.  Of course as we got closer, we sang lots of Christmas Carols and watched for lights. 

Waiting in line - getting ready to board
Getting our tickets punched by our conductor

Getting closer to the NorthPole

I looked up and and cracked up to see her sitting like this!
She was really excited to be at Santa's House
One of the elves letting us know Santa was coming!
Here he is!

Time for cookies and chocolate milk!  Yumm
She really liked hers!!
Our special ornament to remember our trip
Her treasures!
Bye Bye North Pole - See you next year!

Every year someone asks me where we do this and it is in Calera, AL - south of Birmingham through the Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum.  And you have to get tickets like in August - seriously!  They keep going on sale earlier and earlier and selling out faster and faster!
