The Polar Express
It has been a busy and fun weekend but I am exhausted. Tonight we went on the Polar Express up in Calera, Alabama. The kids wore their pajamas just like in the book. Aidan even wore his slippers. The real live steam engine takes you from the station to the "North Pole" which was all decked out with lights and Christmas trees and fake snow and really looked amazing. It had huge signs that said The North Pole. There Santa and Mrs. Claus and the elves boarded the train. The entire ride they played the Polar Express sound track and sang Christmas carols at the top of their lungs with the kids. Santa gave everybody a Christmas bell like in the book and a snowman plush toy to the kids and a train ornament to the adults. The ornament is a gorgeous hand painted train that looks just like the one they run there. The kids were in awe when Santa finally came to their car. Aidan was jumping up and down it was so cute. They had workers in chef hats and coats just like in the book and movie that came by and delivered chocolate milk and cookies while we waited. Despite the cold, it was truly a magical evening and my kids and I will cherish the memories forever.
SAASS Christmas Party
Last night Jeremy's work had their Christmas party. We had a wonderful social hour and sit down dinner followed by a band and dancing. We had to bring a $20 gift so everyone went home with a gift and a class ornament with the class logo that was made. We ended up with some really nice wine glasses and a wine airator. I had a great time hanging out with all my friends and it is always nice to get dressed up and spend a night out without your kids. A big thank you to my friend Paulette who watched my kids for me. And I really did have this cute little black dress on but it was freezing in the ballroom so I ended up wearing my sweater most of the evening.
