Polar Express Train Ride

Friday night we along with my Mom and David took Peyton, Bailie and Jackson for a ride on the Polar Express train in Calera. It is about an hour train ride complete with a visit from Santa, Mrs. Claus, the elves, and the cookie lady. At the beginning of the train ride they read the story over the loudspeakers as you ride along in the decorated train cars. Then you stop at the "North Pole" where Santa and Mrs. Claus get on the train and come by and take pictures with all the kids who are willing to get near him and that does not include Peyton and Bailie. Peyton did give Santa 5 and that was a really big move for her and Bailie did not scream so that was good for her too. Jackson still does not know to like or dislike Santa so he did fine. Here are some picts from the journey.

The elves passing out the bells. Yes if you give 50 kids bells you will hear ringing for an hour after you leave.

I bet that was a lot of fun! Are you hitting the Sugar Bowl in the Big Easy? We may. It is on our 10 year anniversary. It is good to see some new pics of the girls. They are all so cute.
