My Dad works part time for Heber Valley Railroad, so were were able to ride the Polar Express Train this year during the dress rehearsal night before they open to the public. I bought the girls cute Christmas PJ's and we were off! Unfortunately it was about 45 minutes before the train left for the North Pole and Maddie was over the train seats in about 15 minutes. Even being able to walk around was not enough. We finally pulled out and they immediately brought out cookies and cocoa...a welcome distraction. A few minutes later Santa and Mrs. Claus appeared as we passes the North Pole..another welcome distraction. We stopped to tun the train around and it was downhill from there. Maddie was SO tired and cranky, I was coming down with a fever and a cold, and the train was so hot we had to pull the windows open. We left the train station to go get hamburgers for dinner then loaded everyone up and headed home. Maybe next year will be better:)
Ashley had her 1st preschool singing program. It was only 30 minutes long, but she participated really well and sang loudly...maybe Mom's passion for Drama is in her blood:)
We had a girls afternoon with Nana and Grandma Gertrude and frosted cookies for Santa right before Christmas. Maddie was more interested in eating the frosting by the handful than decorating. We had some great looking cookies that Santa ate right up Christmas Eve...way to go girls!
