I love that I am
just now getting all caught up with our holiday fun on my blog. Blogger fail. But it must be documented...I have too much fun looking back!
So on December 1, on the tenth anniversary of Frank's passing, my mom brought all of her kids and all of her grandchildren to go on The Polar Express!!! It seemed appropriate for us all to be together and talking about what Frank would be saying/thinking about all these ladies!
Before the big event, I let Scarlett watch the movie a few times because she wasn't familiar with the story and the book is just a bit too long. By the time it was time to go, she was all pumped up to go to the North Pole!
Mission accomplished!
It was a really great experience for all the little ones, but I think Camdyn, 9, was a little too old. They literally drove the train down the railway, stopped and said, "There's the North Pole," then drove back. It was a total of one hour and pretty torturous for the adults, but the excitement on the kids' faces made it all worth it, cheesy as it sounds!
There was Christmas music playing after they finished reading
The Polar Express and they served hot cocoa! Santa even came along for a ride on the way back! Perfect!
Of course, I have millions of pictures!

After this, we went to Whole Foods, so definitely worth the trip!
