The Wednesday before Christmas we decided to head up to Williams to go to the Polar Express. This was our first year going and the kids were soooo excited. They luckily were in the BEST moods. They could not even hold still for a picture they were so excited. I thought Sydney would be super clingy the whole time, but she was bouncing off the walls.
The kids loved riding on the train and we had a fun little conductor. We sang Christmas songs, drank hot chocolate, ate cookies, and drove to "The North Pole" to pick up Santa.
When Santa came on the train, Colter was so excited. Sydney was absolutely terrified of Santa. Santa came around to each kid and gave them a bell. Colter loved his bell and kept talking about it the rest of the trip. Overall, it was a fun little experience. The kids had the time of their lives and it was worth it just to watch them and see them get so excited. 
That night we stayed at a motel. Sydney decided at 2 in the morning she wanted to get up and color, read books, and eat pretzels. She was wide awake for about 3 hours. On the way home we stopped by to play in some snow. It was really hard snow so we couldn't really play in it, but we still had fun. There was an already built snowman that Colter was trying to finish. Then we headed home. This was a fun little trip to take right before Christmas. It got the kids even more excited for Christmas day.

I can't get over that first picture! You can just see the excitement in their faces, and it looks like they are barely contained in the frame :)
