Polar Express

Merry Christmas Everyone! I hope you all had a great day yesterday. We had so much fun watching our three little girls enjoying their presents and extended family. Christmas as a parent is even better than as a child. I love being able to see their faces light up when they see the cookies and carrots eaten by Santa and the reighndeer.

So, to begin our Christmas posts, I wanted to share our pictures from the Polar Express. I'm sure most of you know what this is, but here is a quick explanation for those of you that don't. The Grand Canyon Railroad does a train ride to the North Pole during November and December every year. They try to recreate the book and take the kids on about an hour and half train ride to the North Pole. While there, Santa boards the train and gives each child their own Christmas bell. If you haven't had the chance to do, and you can be around the Flagstaff area, it was soooo worth it! Our kids had the best time. Here are tons of pics from that night.

SANTA! He told Abbie and Lillie that they were on the good list, so they were very excited.

The whole fam minus Lucy...she stayed at home with Nana

Only one more word to describe our time.....
