All Aboard

I will never hear the sound of a train, drink hot chocolate, or watch The Polar Express and not think of our trip tp Palestine!! Yes, it's in Texas...about two movies away from Shiner! A friend of mine & her husband (also a friend) took their kiddos there a couple of years ago & my mom fell in love with her pictures!!! Mom told me that she was going to take Bryce, Jake, & Mia there one day....well, December 4, 2010 was THE ONE day!!! Mom, Dad, Dusty, Mia, Bryce, Jake, and me loaded up & headed east-way east!!! The trip was worth every second as were the memories we made!!

We got there very early & sat & sat & SAT!! but it was so worth it!!! We sang Christmas carols & most importantly got really good seats!! They called us on board & so began our journey...hot chocolate & cookies soon followed along with singing & dancing in the aisles!!! Then we read the story of The Polar Express....then we arrived at The North Pole to pick up none other than Santsa himself!! He came down the aisle and handed each child their first gift at Christmas....the most precious thing I heard was Jake ringing his bell & says, "Mommy, I DO believe!!" that did my heart good!! EVERYONE had smiles on their faces...we couldn't help it! It was the start of a magical Christmas!!

Thanks GeeGee & Pappa for the trip that we remember daily....in fact we had hot chocolate this morning and Jake says "Allll aboarrrrrd"
