North Pole Express

The past couple of years we've heard about the North Pole Express and seen several people on Facebook taking their kids. I didn't realize you had to buy tickets in July though! Thankfully, they remodeled a car and offered tickets in November. My friend, Misty, forwarded me the email with the info on the new car and I bought tickets immediately.

The Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum has set up a train ride to the North Pole and Santa, Mrs. Claus and his elves all come onto the train. The elves hand out Christmas ornaments, cookies and milk and Santa and Mrs. Claus stop to talk with the children and take pictures. The big thing to do is wear your pajamas like in Polar Express.

Ready to go! 

Waiting to board the train.

So excited

Finally on the train!

Mommy told her she was getting milk and cookies, so she
didn't care about Santa and wouldn't smile for a picture with him.

Or for one with Mommy and Daddy!

Smiling again after getting her milk and cookies! Spoiled rotten girl! 

 This was a really fun way to start off the Christmas season. I'm sure we'll do this again next year! (If I can remember to buy tickets in July!)
