The Polar Express

Here we are again with Mrs. Clause.

We tried unsuccessfully to get a picture with all of us looking, but Jenna and Hannah were both fighting over who could get the farthest away from Santa. Neither one of them were too keen on talking with him, but Santa still came through and gave them their magical "Christmas Bell."

The elves onboard served the hot cocoa that tasted like "melted chocolate bars" and cookies.

Hannah had a hard time sitting still so we assigned her to Grandpa for a while.

Here is Grandpa and Hannah, his sidekick. I'm not sure who was more excited.

Here is Jenna with Mrs. Clause. Jenna really liked Mrs. Clause and was not even a little afraid of her.

December 4th was an exciting day for me and Jenna because we were able to ride the Polar Express train to the North Pole. When I first told Jenna that we would be riding this train, she was a bit nervous and told me she didn't want to ride. When I asked her further why she was afraid, she mentioned that she didn't want to go down the big mountain and slide on the ice. Confused I asked her why she thought that would happen and she explained that is exactly what happened on the Polar Express Movie. When I told her there was nothing to worry about, she was ready to go with Grandma and Grandpa Arnold.
