Trip to the North Pole

We completely surprised the boys last night with probably the best gift we could have gotten them. We usually open our ‘Christmas Pajamas’ on Christmas Eve but we had a special night planned so they got to open them early. And they were very pleased with their new PJs. In fact, it is 10am here and they have begged me to let them keep them on this morning.


Opening the first presentNew PjsScott and I also wore our pjs and we took the boys to Fillmore to catch “The North Pole Express.” William was so excited to see the conductor.

After the elves passed out the “I believe” bells we were at the North Pole to pick up Santa. Time to ring the bells for Santa to come in.

I think towards the end Harry was a little tired. tired


The boys already asked today if we can go back to the North Pole tonight. This has got to be one of our most favorite Christmas memories to date.

That is so cool!! I think there's a similar thing in Branson, I'll have to check it out. I love how excited the boys are, especially William. :)

That is SOO AWESOME! We have a Polar Express here but the tickets are sold out in 5 sec unless you are members of our train museum. Those are great pics! Love the new Family pic on top too!
