Polar Express

Branson hiding from Santa!
So I posted pictures out of order again :) Last night we took the kids on the Polar Express! It is located in Connersville, Indiana. It took us about 2 hours to get there and it was worth it :) It is an old train that re-enacts the Polar Express movie! It was so much fun and the kids loved it!

Dawson watching for the North Pole!



A guy came around and punched each of our tickets just like they do in the movie!


And my favorite part of the trip was when we arrived at the North Pole. You stay on the train but out in a field there is a "north pole" set up and Santa walks out of his workshop to join us on the train! Every child was screaming with excitement! It was so precious to watch! We had to sing Santa Claus is coming to town in order for Santa to come out of his workshop! It was so much fun and then Santa came to each child and sat with them and asked them what they would like for Christmas. He then gave each of them a bell! If you have seen the movie you will remember this special part!

Dawson and Santa!


I let the boys open up their Christmas blankets and pillows on our ride home! They were so excited which did my heart good!

Branson all bundled up and warm!

I also got them each new Christmas PJ's!

We also got them each a new Christmas book to read!
