The Day after Thanksgiving, we met up with Hayley and Jason and took our children to The Polar Express outside of Birmingham. I was very impressed. We dressed in our pajamas (just like in the movie). While we waited to board the train, we played at the train station. Here are the boys
Here's Hayden waiting inside the train station.

Silly Boys
Tyler and Braxton
Hayden and Jack
Here's Anne Reece. Isn't she too cute?
We got a visit from one of the conductors.
What's that in Hayden's hand? . . . Tickets, please!
Elves boarded the train after a stop at the North Pole and passed out jingle bells.
I just had to get a picture of the elf shoes - fabulous!
The kids got chocolate milk and cookies. (Tyler thought we were going to get hot chocolate like the movie, but could you imagine really giving all the kids hot chocolate?)

We had a great time. Dressed in our PJs, we boarded a real train. We sung songs on the way to the North Pole. We stopped at the North Pole (we did not get off the train) and Santa and Mrs. Claus got on so the boys got to see them, too. We drank chocolate milk and ate cookies, and we also received a present. The boys had a blast!
