One of Luke's most favorite movies/books is The Polar Express. So, this weekend we decided to take a little trip to Williams, AZ to kick off the holiday season with a ride! We loved it. Abby and Chris watched Ella for us and we took off with Luke.
My little buddy was soo excited! Here he is waiting for the train to pull up to the station!
Can't lose the ticket!
Yay!! It finally arrived.
The three of us starting on our journey to the North Pole...
Everything is a lot like the movie on the real Polar Express.
Including awesome dancing chefs who serve hot cocoa and chocolate chip cookies. 
After about half an hour of music, story time, eating and fun, we went through a magic tunnel. They say it speeds the train up to the North Pole. Pretty awesome. Then, we arrived at the North Pole! We saw Santa, his reindeer, sleigh, and a few elves. Everything was lit up in lights.
Santa hopped aboard the train!
He gave all the kids a bell... first gifts of Christmas!
Luke had to make sure his worked.
On the way back from the North Pole everyone sang Christmas carols. The men on the train had to stand and sing solo when the "five golden rings" line came around in the Twelve Days of Christmas. Check out Jake and his moves.
Once we were back at the train station, Luke got to sit on Santa's lap. He says he asked Santa for a big boy bike, a marble toy, and a marshmallow shooter. He thought that we would go home with what he asked for and was a little annoyed to find out that he has to wait for the elves to make the toys... (They don't let parents use flash on cameras because they want people to purchase $20 clear photos. Bah! Hence the blurry Santa picture)
And that's the way they do it on the Polar Express!
If we're living somewhere relatively close next year, we want to go again!
