We went bought tickets for the Polar Express for Aiden and Kale's birthdays coming up and took our ride that last weekend. Nana Jo and Grandpa were visiting and went with us. We hoped on the train in Old Town Sacramento.
The kids wore the pjs and bathrobes like in the story, even Baylynn!
While we waited in the station for our train to arrive, they played Christmas music over the speakers. The kids had a good time rocking out to the music, especially Aiden.
We arrived at the North Pole and saw the elves busy putting toys in santa's sleigh. Santa was waving too as the pulled into the North Pole.
Kale got comfortable sitting in the window sill.
You can't tell as much as I hoped, but Aiden is VERY worried in this picture. Santa is in the direction he's not looking, but a "hobo" dressed as Santa had just come in from the other direction at this point. Aiden was worried that there were two Santas. He finally did figure out which one was the real one.
As Santa walked by, he handed each person a bell from his reindeer's harnises.
Even Baylynn got her own.
Brooklynn was pretty tired and grumpy at the end and only wanted to color on Nana Jo's paper pad.
And here's what our car looked like.
We've had fun reading the book with the kids since.

I think this is the first time I've EVER seen Mike in long pants besides going to church. Wow-eee, how did you manage that? :)
All these pictures were taken at church j/k.
