All aboard the Polar Express! We're off to the North Pole! Poor baby Lake was sick so daddy stayed home to care for her. Coco & I took Stryker on the train ride this year. Hoping the rest of the family can join us next year. It was a rainy night but that didn't spoil our fun. Stryker was wide eyed as he explored the train & played with other kids. On the way to the North Pole (rode on the C&NW cart which is the first to reach the North Pole, the last to leave the North Pole, & first to see Santa), we sang Christmas Carols & heard the Polar Express story. The lights were turned off so the kids could hold their glow sticks & see the Christmas lights out the windows. On a side note, our train had to back up so sand could be applied to the wet track in order for us to make it uphill to the North Pole. On arrival to the North Pole, we were able to see Santa's workshop along with Santa, Mrs. Claus, & the elves waving outside the window! Santa & Mrs. Claus boarded the train to visit the kids. Stryker jumped up in his seat & hopped right into Santa's arms! Yay for excitement & no tears! He gave him high five, told him bye & Merry Christmas. He kept the big smile on his face the rest of the night while grabbing my phone to look at his Santa picture & tell us ALL about it! Love my boy's enjoyment! Santa's elves distributed golden keys & train ornaments to everyone. We also received cookies (choice of double chocolate & white chocolate macadamia nut) & chocolate milk. Stryker gobbled down his double chocolate cookie & insisted on eating the white chocolate macadamia nut cookie we were saving for daddy. On another side note, our elf has a son who is a senior at Ole Miss! Hotty Toddy! The Polar Express arrived back home as we sang & danced to more Christmas carols.
