Yesterday our doorbell rang and the kids were super surprised and excited to see their Nana and Papa (Jeff's parents) on our doorstep. We went to lunch with Nana and Papa and then started driving- the kids didn't know where. We had them open a present which turned out to be the Polar Express book. And then we told them we were going to ride on the Polar Express to the North Pole. They were pretty excited. As we got closer to the Polar Express it started snowing which added to the magic of it all. (Yes, I took a thousand pictures and even didn't post all of them believe it or not. But there is still a lot).
Skylee opening her next surprise.
Nana being such a good sport and sitting in the back between two large car seats to read them stories and entertain them on the way.
I love this pic of Skylee and Papa getting ready to board the train.
All aboard!
All bundled up- isn't he adorable? The kids got to wear their jammies which sounded like a great idea until we had to get completely undressed everytime one of them had to go to the bathroom (Jaston is officialy potty trained wahoo!)
Getting settled on the train- for the twenty minutes waiting for the train to go Skylee kept asking when she gets her hot chocolate.
Jeff wasn't too pleased about me taking his picture but oh well, we needed evidence he was there too.
The snow just fell and fell it was perfect!
My attempt at being artistic with my pics since the rest of them aren't that great cuz I only had my flash on my camera which I don't love.
Jaston had to switch and ride with Papa, it was so sweet. Jaston just jabbered Papa's ear off and loved every minute of his time and attention.
I think these two have missed each other.
This was the smile Skylee forced when the lady told her she had to show her a smile to get her hot chocolate.
Papa and Jaston again so cute!
And this girl is in heaven!
Just some evidence it was COLD outside!
Let it snow, let it snow.
I thought this sign was clever, maybe cheesy but clever.
And a few pics from my phone.
This is when Santa walked in- magical moment :)
Santa telling Skylee, " You're on my good list, the elves told me." Man, did that mean a lot to Skylee.

This looks like so much fun! Perfect timing with the snow! I get sugar headaches too, guess it's a good indicator to stop eating so many treats though!
Where was this? Do they only have it there or are their others, like in Utah? Such a great idea!
I am glad you had a good time! We were going to take Jamison if we ended up staying in Arizona, but unfortunately we didn't :(
