Polar Express
















Before we left for St. Louis for Christmas, we took the kids on the local steam train renamed the "North Pole Express". It was very cute as the girls were dressed in their Christmas pajamas and boarded the train to the North Pole to pick up Santa Claus. They had elves on board who led carols and told stories and the girls were all eyes. I think the most exciting part at the beginning was just riding on the train as Caroline has been fascinated with them for a while and then the big excitement came when we arrived at the North Pole and Santa was outside waiting for us! He boarded the train and gave all the kids candy canes and then they had the opportunity to sit on his lap after the ride was over. Hannah was happy to sit on his lap but Caroline wanted nothing to do with it. She just ran up and said, "I want a big girl bike " and ran away! Didn't make for great pictures but it was a great experience none the less!
