Polar Express

This year we were excited to go with a few other families on the Polar Express. We had a great time and it was fun to help us get ready for christmas which at the time was only a few days away. We took an hour and a half train ride up the mountains to the North Pole and then walked around Santa's village, listened to Carolers, had cookies and milk, sat by the fire to warm up and visited with Santa on his sleigh! 



The Cromar Family! These are our neighbors and good friends. We are happy to back living next to them! We also went with the Smarts, the McDaniels, and the Smiths, but apparently we weren't cool enough to get in any pictures with them.


It was nice to enjoy it with Porter and Eliza. Matt had to work and we left Lily home with some friends so we could enjoy it just a little more!




We had such a great time! I only wished I would have gotten a few more pictures. Like a picture of the whole group that came, or a picture of Porter having his 5 minute session with Santa. It was pretty cute. He must have just been at the right place at the right time cause Santa saw him and sat right down next to him and asked him tons of questions like they were old pals. Porter was in complete heaven. At every other party we had been to where there was a santa he kept saying "thats not the real santa mom!". But this time he really was the real deal! English accent and all!

This looks like so much fun Amber. Your kids are so lucky to have such a rad mom, who plans fun things to do.
