A visit to the North Pole

Friday night Emma and I had a fun experience riding the Polar Express! It's true! We rode to the North Pole and visited Santa Clause! What a lucky girl Emma is to already have met Santa Clause face to face. In fact, he even gave her a little gift... a sleigh bell. She's been ringing it a lot lately. I can even hear it... that must mean I truly believe. :)

Anyway, on our adventure, we received hot chocolate and cookies and we listened to the story of the Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg. Since we traveled such a long way for one evening (all the way to the North Pole and back again), we spent the night in Flagstaff, which is close to where the train returns home. We had a lovely hotel to recuperate from our adventure where I'm sure Emma dreamed of Santa, reindeer, and chocolate goodies.


Merry Christmas in January!
