Last year for Christmas my parents bought my whole family tickets to The Polar Express (yes you have to buy them a year in advance that's how good it is). And it was SO fun to watch Tyler and Madix. They are at the perfect age and was just at awe.
Outside our hotel in their PJ's ready to go! It was FRRREEEEEZING that night!! I think it was about 20 degrees when we were outside waiting for the train. (good reminder of why we live in warm Phoenix)
In the hotel by the fire trying to thaw out.
Ty and Mads all bundled up waiting to go.
First we got to visit Santa and tell him what they wanted. Ty asked for a trampoline, a sponge bob game, and a scooter. Mads just asked for a Dora dolly:)
All 10 of the cousins
Waiting for the train. Did I mention how cold it was?? I thought I was gonna die.
Poor Madix didn't know why the heck it was so cold. She was trying to cover her face with Grandpa holding her.
Ty was so excited she could hardly stand it!
Awww finally made it on the warm train.
Ty sitting with Uncle Benson and Titi Omy.
They brought us some hot chocolate and cookies right away.
Madix was the life of the party, she was just dancing away to the music playing on the train.
Ty was so funny and really thought it was the "real" Polar Express. She hung on tight to her ticket the whole time cause she was afraid it was gonna fly out the window (like the movie). Then her favorite part of the whole experience was when the train conductor came by. He wasn't even checking tickets, but Ty made sure to give him her ticket to look at. She was really concerned he didn't punch it though.
Here we are riding up to the North Pole. It was so fun for them to see it out the window. We rode past the elves houses, and the reindeer and then Santa was outside waving....so exciting!! Then when we drove back by it Santa was gone! Where did he go?? (he got on our train)
So we had to sing a bunch of Christmas songs for Santa to come out. He stopped and talked to Tyler for a long time. He told Ty that his elves told him she was coming and he that was waiting for her. WOW! (sitting on Uncle Kevins lap)
Giving Madix a bell!
Riding back home from the North Pole. What an experience, one I think Tyler will never forget. It was an awesome trip. Thanks Mom and Dad!!

Oooooh, I'm so jealous! Looks like you guys had a great time. The girls looked so cute in their beanies and big fluffy coats!
Where was that? In Utah? Loved it. You guys always look like you are having a great time raising those kiddos. Loves. Dave looks a little tuckered out in that last picture.
They have that same thing in CO, and we were going to go this year, but now we're not there! Looks like such a fun time! I'm so jealous!
We wanted to do the Polar Express too, but obviously, we were always late because of the one year thing. Glad you had a good time! Way jealous! (except the 20 degree part)
So fun Kimber!!! Every time I read "cold" I shivered thinking about living in the cold again with two kids, how am I going to do it?
That looks like so much fun, Hallie is sitting here looking at the pictures mad at me that we've never done this, I guess we'll have to do it next year!
That is the coolest thing ever. I bet Judy was in heaven with all her grandbabies!
