To the North Pole we will go!

Saturday we went up North, way up North, to the North Pole to be exact! That's right, the North Pole. Our adventure started in Chattanooga, TN.

We arrived at the train station.....

waited patiently....and finally the Polar Express arrived!

Lucky for us, we had tickets and the conductor let us on board. We were all really excited!

The excitement made us a little silly. We calmed down though as the nice lady in our train read us the Polar Express story and a nice man served us cookies and yoo-hoos.
You might be wondering how we made it to the North Pole from TN and back in one night...well, went went really fast through a magic tunnel. As we came out the other side, we were at the North Pole! Wow, gotta love magic!
The boys were amazed as we got to see the Elves houses (they were wondering which one Tad lives in). We also saw the toy warehouses and the workshop and snow! Most importantly, Santa was there! He even boarded our train and talked to all the kids.

The boys were so excited when it was their turn to talk to him! Nicholas was going to tell him to bring Daddy a Ferrari, but I think he forgot in the excitement. Sorry Jason!

Nolan didn't cry this time! After the boys were through talking to him, they each got a bell just like in the story.

Nicholas got to lead the train in singing Jingle Bells on the way back home!
It was a wonderful, magical night in the North Pole!
