The West Texas Polar Express

Well last Thursday my mom, brother, the kids and I put on our pajamas and loaded up to go on the sold out West Texas Polar Express train ride. We were lucky my mom was on top of things and scored the tickets! We started out the ride singing on the train and then listened to the story of The Polar Express as we rode to the "North Pole". Once we arrived at the North Pole we saw Santa waving at us with all of his elves dancing around outside Santa's workshop. All the elves and most importantly Santa boarded the train to visit with all of the boys and girls. Kenna LOVED Santa, Konner LOVED dancing and the train conductor. Konner was a serious crack up as he danced in the isles....he was the youngest kiddo in our train car.....and he stole the show. They then handed out hot chocolate, sugar cookies and Santa asked each boy & girl what they wanted for Christmas. Kenna wanted a little trampoline (that she is getting from Grammie & Granddad) and Konner wouldn't have anything to do with Santa. He may look somewhat pleasant in the one picture....but that was the 2nd time around....and only for a fleeting second! ha! Santa gave each child a little bell just like Santa gave the little boy in the Polar Express story. Besides the seriously rocky ride....it was a lot of fun and I wish Keith could have been able to enjoy it with us!
