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.
