All aboard the Polar Express!

Last weekend we took the girls on a very special train ride in Grapevine, TX. If you know much about our family, you know the girls love the movie Polar Express! Santa even brought a wooden Polar Express train set one year! We were delighted to find out that such a train ride existed! The children were to wear their jammies just like on the movie.

Waiting for train there was cute things to keep them occupied! Hot cocoa and ornament making, Frosty and Rudolph! Marcella has a thing for these big characters. She just wants to hug them and stand next to them ~ not afraid a bit! Well, she was a Disney baby after all it must be in her blood! LOL.

Leaving the station it started to get dark….the whole train was singing Christmas songs. Near the end, when they were playing some of that beautiful music from the movie it seemed almost magical ~very special!

Miss Marcella who had been running around crazy like her sweet 2 year-old self instantly became mesmerized the minute we sat down. She almost never took her eyes off the window.
