Well ever since Thanksgiving the last couple of weeks have been a blur. Toby and I have had something everyweekend and have something every day till Christmas. We have tried to do anything and everything Christmas related and go see that we could. I have two Christmas parties that we had to attend for my office and Toby had his. My dad went back to work part time and so my mom has had Cash during our events.
Here is the Gingerbread train that she bought for her and Cash to make! He loved it and its my centerpiece on my kitchen table right now. He loves trains so this was perfect for him. Wednesday Toby and I took off and went with my parents to Palestine, Texas. They bought the 5 of us tickets to ride on the Polar Express.
Here the train is coming into the station to pick us up. The train left at 5pm and drove to the north pole. It was great timing since there was still light when we got on the train but by the time that we arrived at the North Pole it was dark.
Here we are looking out the window once the train was arriving at the North Pole. Once we got there we had to wait for Santa and his elves to get on board. Cash was so excited to get to see Santa's house. Along the train ride they served us hot chocalate and cookies.
The whole train sang Christmas carols, and had a really great time. Cash and all the kiddos wore their pj's on the train just like in the Polar express book. Here is Cash and Toby singing and clapping to festive songs along the way.
Santa came by each row to see each kid and gave them thier very special bell. Cash rang it most of the drive home! (Which like I said earlier was in Palestine so that was 2 hours!)
Here we are waiting for the train to come into the station.
We had a lot of fun and are looking foward to the next week before Christmas, I think that we have one more holiday trip planned on Sunday and a wedding on Saturday!!
