The Polar Express

Oh...This day could not have gotten here fast enough! We bought 27 tickets back in September to ride The Polar Express in Palestine since we would be in Alto for Thanksgiving. It is only 30 minutes away and our kiddos are at a perfect age AND they were with most of their cousins. So Fun!!! We all piled in  Uncle Gary's childhood home in Alto and stayed Thanksgiving night, let the kids run around the next morning, continued to laugh and tell stories..it was big cousin catch up time for us too!!  We put on PJ's and headed to the train station! I was of course the photographer for everyone and loved every minute of it! The adults were just as excited as the kids were!! I teared up 4 times on the train ride watching all the kids excitement and all of our family... a fun time to be with everyone!
