As part of the children's Christmas gift, we took them to the Polar Express. Williams Arizona has a train that takes the children to the North Pole. We dress up in jammies, read the book, sing carols, eat cookies and drink hot chocolate.
We went with the Webbs and the Newmans. Yes, that equals 12 kids!
The train stops at the North Pole and lets Santa on. He passes out bells to all children and those who believe can hear the bell.
For moms and dads it involves driving, snow, wet kids, whining and the wiggles. For the children it is magical. So of course we went expecting the struggle to be worth it for the look of magic we get to see in our kid's eyes.
We still believe, do you?

Yay!! Hi Sister Weiß, I am so glad to see your blog. I saw the pic of Levi and thought - wow - He's sure grown and then I saw the post before of his baptism and thought NO WAY! It's been 7 years. I hope you are enjoying Arizona. We are coming to the states (the whole family) in July. I'll email more. I love the Polar Express and I STILL BELIEVE!
