Polar Express

We had such a wonderful day yesterday going to the polar express. The girls were perfect on the way up there. They colored, read books, and talked to each other. We stopped at Buckey's (aarons favorite stop) on the way up there and everyone was able to get out and stretch their legs. The girls didn't nap though. Saige almost fell asleep but was uncomfortable in the car so she woke back up. We arrived to the train depot way too early so the girls got a little cranky after an hour. We were able to get a snack, watch the movie, walk around, see the gift shop and check out the train before we got on though. Saige was crying and crying waiting in line and we were a little afraid she would ruin someone else's experience. But once we got on the train it was nothing but fun. I bought the cutest matching pj's for the girls to wear but decided not to put them in it when the time came. It was so cold and I just thought they looked warm in their regular clothes. We would of had a coat on anyway so you wouldn't of seen how cute they were.

The train had music, cookies, hot cocoa, North Pole, Santa, singing and dancing staff, and sharing the book. It was really so much fun! I asked Reese what her favorite part was and to my surprise it was hot chocolate. I think she felt like a very big girl drinking it.

We stopped at Whataburger and ate and headed straight home. I don't think we were in the car two minutes before Saige passed out. Reese stayed up about an hour but fell asleep too.
