Polar Express

This year we got tickets for the Polar Express. There are lots of them around here leaving from various train stations. This one left from Melrose so we got tickets and didn't have to drive far. Vivie was down for a nap (but not sleeping) before we left so we cut it a bit close. We made record time from the apartment to the car to the station ... I think total of 10 minutes! As we parked we heard the Ding! Ding! of the train approaching. Phil and I knew we had 15 minutes to board but Pip was convinced we'd miss it and of course freaked out. We hustled over and found our friends, the Velez family, right beside our car.

It was lots of fun! We got candy canes, bells, milk, and cookies and met Santa and lots of other characters.





Here Pip tells Santa he wants a boat fighter for Christmas (anyone know what that is??)
