Polar Express

Friday night, we headed to Grapevine, TX (self-proclaimed Christmas Capitol of Texas) to ride the Polar Express.  I think it was called something else (North Pole Express), but Ava called it the Polar Express, so we went with it.  It. was. incredible.

We grabbed a bite to eat before boarding the train.  Edy used her new found communication-- signing "more".

 There was a quick show before the train ride.  It was really cute.

 They played Christmas carols before the show started and Ava danced her little heart out!

By the way, all of the children wore their pajamas.  It was adorable...take my word for it!

 more dancing...

Here are some videos from the show:

 After the show, we headed outside to board the train. As we walked through the Christmas Tree Maze, it began to snow (man-made, of course).

 We were the first to climb aboard.

In awe.

This was such an incredible experience for the girls.  I can't wait to go back next year.   Making Memories!
