The Polar Express

The week before Christmas Aunt Judy took Connor, Hudson, Ryan & Olivia on a special trip to the North Pole! Well, not exactly. She took the 4 of them for a ride on The Polar Express Train. They stopped for dinner on the way and were given instructions to wear their pajamas. The got to ride on a real train and have hot chocolate and take a ride to the North pole. There was singing and dancing and of course, cookies! When Connor got home he told me that it wasn't the real north pole, but it was still cool. They got to see one of Santa's helpers. (Not the real Santa, because we all know he only shows up at BERO's house!) They each got to take home a bell and a mug. When Judy walked in the door I asked if she had taken any pictures and her response was "Hey, I had 4 kids!". We totally understood, but we were so curious as to what the kids got to see. Then on Christmas Eve, Judy presented each of our families with beautiful scrapbooks she made with pictures from their adventure. What a sneak! Our children are surrounded by such loving people. We are truly blessed!
Here are the boys before they left on their journey.
