Our town is famous for our steam engine trains and during the Holiday season it turns into the Polar Express! It wasn't the same as previous years due to social distancing and masks for adults but we tried to make the best of it. At least they got to see Santa at the North Pole with two of his real reindeer (named Cinders and Switch). There were dancing elves and we walked away with hot chocolate, snicker doodle cookies, and a bell from Santa's sleigh!
The kids were all dressed up in their Christmas pajamas. Just like in the book...
waiting for the train to show up and taking pictures in front of some of the cars
We hear the steam engine!
below you can see a video of the train arriving in the web version...
The boy from the story, getting ready to get on the magic train to the North Pole
Lorelai's got her golden ticket
On the train ride they read the Polar Express story and we sang Christmas songs
Lorelai asked Santa for a microscope, Evelyn asked for a Kindle, Joseph asked for a truck. Scarlet was too shy to talk but I helped her ask for a new doll.
The kids have their sleigh bells
