We kicked off our 2013 Christmas season with our first ever ride on the Polar Express! The Polar Express is a real passenger train that goes from Palestine, TX to Rusk, TX and back. During Christmas however, it transforms into the Polar Express and takes deserving children and their families to the North Pole!
Here it comes!!
I loved the wonder and awe on their faces as it came to a stop in front of us at the depot.
All aboarrrrrrrrrrd!
Pretty excited!
The kids handing their tickets to the conductor for punches. (I wish they had a punch that did the words "believe", or "lead", or "learn", but they don't...)
After we passed the North Pole and waved to Santa and the elves, Santa came aboard the train to personally deliver bells to each of the children. Love Dad's face! :)

We Believe!
