Polar Express!

We read the book Polar Express and then it was time to go on the Polar Express. We had to leave riht after Danniqa got out of school. We left Miss Jana with Grandpa & Grandma Taylor.

The Train Station

 Dad wearing a Conductor Hat

 Waiting for the train. I had them jump on the tracks

 A cool old train.

 We like to make sentences with Drew's name. So they had these little train letters at the station. Danniqa wrote this out. Jana Drew Me.

 As the Train pulled up. Danniqa was jumping around and was pretty excited. It was also pretty cold and so she may have been trying to stay warm.

 Our train Car

 They came down and gave us all cookies and hot chocolate. I love that you can see Danniqa's reflection in the window.

 They had elves that served us. They were also doing Christmas songs and trivia on the train.

 Then we got to the North Pole. Danniqa definitely didn't believe that fact.

 Waiting to see Santa on the train.

 She wouldn't go over to him, she just cuddled up to her dad. But it is still a cute picture.

 Then Mrs. Clause came around. She brought us her cookie recipe. We were told that if we make these cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve then Santa will leave us an extra present. I think Danniqa is planning on doing this....EVER year. At least that is what she said. :) 

 We also each got a bell that came off from one of the reindeer harnesses. Santa told Danniqa that her bell came off from Ruldolph. She was pretty excited.

Over all it was really fun!
