Polar Express

One of my favorite Christmas experiences of this year was taking the kids to ride the Polar Express. Derek LOVES reading the Polar Express book and requests it all year long. He was the perfect age to grasp the "magic." The train is in Williams, AZ 2.5 hours away from Phoenix. The weather was perfect...it snowed the morning and as we drove up the kids got to see snowflakes. We got hot coca and cookies on the ride to the north pole while they read the book to us. The kids saw Santa and then Santa boarded the train and gave each kid their own bell. We sang Christmas carols on the way home and Rylie was dancing in the aisle. Can't wait to ride the Polar Express next year!
