Polar Express 2012

One of our most favorite traditions every Christmas is to go on the Polar Express with Lulu! She is so gracious to take us all every year, and the boys have many memories of doing this with her! Special times. This year was no different. Well, a little different. It was much less crowded than last year (much more leg space, much less claustrophobia), a different starting place for the train, and this year we had 5 little boys instead of only 3 like last year!

On the way to the North Pole, the boys got a cookie and a hot cocoa, they were all super excited about. Braidy ended up wearing most of it on his shirt, of course, but he loved every bit of it that got in his mouth! Quin loved his cookie and drank the hot chocolate until we got off the train I think. John put it all away before we could look up and he finished off several half full cups, too. After we arrived at the North Pole, Santa came aboard the train. Quin didn't cry! It's a Christmas Miracle!!!! He actually really liked Santa and told him he wanted Thomas the Train! Braidy said he wanted "regular" blocks (Mr. Random Man), John said Legos, Crockett said a Monster Truck! The elf came by and she was so sweet to the boys, they all loved her. Towards the end of the ride, they all started getting wild and a little out of control, but we all survived and had the best time! Thank you Lulu for taking us and for the wonderful memories that we all will have forever. We love you!
