all aboard!

For Christmas, Grammy bought herself a special treat - tickets for herself, her children, and all of her grandchildren on the Polar Express!!

A local school was hosting the Polar Express as a fundraiser. They borrowed a train, decorated it with lots of lights, and the students dressed like elves. They then took us all, pajama-clad, to the North Pole. [Because we had connections, and ours was such a large group, we had early boarding and our own train car!]

On the way, we were treated to a dramatic reading of the book, Polar Express. Once we arrived at the North Pole we picked up Santa, Frosty, and Rudolph. They rode back with us while we enjoyed complimentary cookies, cocoa and a spirited sing-a-long.


I must say, they really did a great job with it - a good time was had by all! Let's hope they do it again next year.
