All Aboard, The Polar Express!!!!

Today was a great day!  My sister and her family and my mom are all in town to celebrate Christmas this weekend at my house.  It is great to see all of them, and was especially fun to get to see the little cousins experience a real train ride on the Polar Express together in Duluth today!  Here are some pics from our adventure.  The kids had a great time~ Evie's favorite moment was the hot chocolate and cookie, and Matthew wouldn't tell me his favorite moment until we got home, and he was fast asleep, so I'll post that once I know it!!  Enjoy!

Elijah and Santa Claus

Matthew wouldn't talk to Santa, and he was very worried about it, so I had to tell Santa what he wants.  Evie was pretty talkative, so I think all her wished were heard!  This was the first year I didn't have to go up with them to see Santa!

Cookies, Cocoa, and bonfire. . .it doesn't get any better than that!

I was debating about bringing the kids up for that ride...wasn't sure if it was worth the three hour drive - looks like fun though!!
