All Aboard....

Friday evening was spent on the Polar Express. We had the opportunity to share a ride with my parents and our dear friends Peg Peg and Piper. Going into this I thought how exciting will the actually be for Abby? To my surprise, I was excited and overwhelmed at the same time.

It is difficult to put into words the emotions I felt watching her react to the excitement of the Polar Express. There was a point when I almost cried and I am not a crier! I could see the awe and joy on her face it is truly indescribable. 

As the story was read to the children Abby went along with it saying the words with elf Liz. The children were given hot chocolate and cookies after the story. Then there was the build up to arriving at the north pole where they were greeted by the elves and santa waved as he went by in his one horse open sleigh (hey!).

Just before the ride was finished, santa entered our car. He happily greeted each child and gave them a jingle bell! The children were delighted! Remembering the story, Abby reminded us that the bell was magical and jingled her bell all the way home.
