The Polar Express Experience

Olaf the Elf has been really busy these past few days.  He pulled out all the stops the last three days...bringing a super fun Snowflake breakfast to Vegas with the help of two of his friends, then taking them for a wild ride on our trip back to Reno.  Finally, yesterday the pipsqueaks woke up to a Polar Express Day!!

We started the day with the boys having a lot of fun with the electric train that was set up for them.

After breakfast Carter read the Polar Express book to us, for being just 5 years old I only had to help him a handful of times with the bigger words!  Then we snuggled up on the couch to watch the Christmas Movies thriftily recorded from Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas.  There are some really cute Christmas movies!

Along with the electric train and book, Olaf left us 5 giant golden tickets to ride the Polar Express right after dinner!!  We hopped into the car and drove to Carson City where we boarded the REAL V&T Polar Express!!  We got to see Santa's Village, have hot-hot coco and cookies and even see the big man himself!!

 

We were joined by one of our favorite families to share the experience.  I think the kids were over the moon at the magic Christmas Spirit last night.  Ethan even got the first gift of Christmas from Santa!!  They sang songs, played games and truly embodied the spirit of Christmas!

It was truly a magical evening!

Hello Again

I started this blog a while ago on a whim. After years of writing off and on I decided I needed to get serious and make more of a commitment to writing.

We have had a lot of ups and downs the past few years, so, if there is one thing we have learned it's time is short...now is now. We hope you will join (or rejoin) us on our sometimes crazy, but always fun journey!!
