A Santa Weekend

A few weeks before Christmas, we had a Santa filled weekend. It started out with a Breakfast with Santa at Avery's school. We had a nice breakfast, then, we got to sit with Santa for a bit. There was even a store set up where Avery was able to get her shopping done for all of us.

After we left Avery's school, we drove to Rhode Island to catch the Polar Express train ride.  First, we checked into our hotel near the train station and got in a little pool time. Then, the girls put on their pajamas for the train ride. Once everyone was on board, we got to hear the story of The Polar Express while we ate chocolate chip cookies and drank hot chocolate. We made our way up to The North Pole which was all lit up. And then, Santa and Mrs. Claus got on the train with us and visited with all of the kids. Santa gave each kid a bell from his sleigh! Then, we sang christmas caroles with some of Santa's elves on the way back. It was so much fun!
