The magic of a the Holiday season has begun.
Last evening, our oldest daughter took her grandchildren to ride the Polar Express. Accompanying them was her daughter and daughter-in-laws.
This experience is a journey where imagination and wonder collide.. I have actually enjoyed this adventure a few times with my niece (Tammy) and there truly is something magical about the ride.
This Polar Express ride is not just any ol' train ride...it is a journey into a child's heart. The story unfolds through readings, songs, and interactions with characters like Santa and all his helpers, and you can see the kids eyes just light up. The thrill of sipping hot chocolate in a "mug souvenir", receiving a "silver bell" as a token of belief, and feeling like you are a part of the timeless tale, just seems to create magical memories.
I can just imagine the smiles on our little ones faces as they rode past the NORTH POLE!!
Needed an outside camera to capture the excitement!!
Even the adults get excited when they get their Golden Ticket!!

Seeing the joy reflected in the eyes of our grandchildren deepens my sense of awe and it does make the Christmas spirit come alive.
The joy isn't just limited to children....I know that the times that I have experienced this ride, it was a reminder of the wonder and innocence we sometimes lose in the rush of our daily lives.

ReplyDeleteSo, where or what kind of train was that Polar Express - it looked like so much fun. Your family is gorgeous, and I love their smiles.
Did you wear PJ's too?
You have very classy decorations. I love the gnome, reindeer pillow, and the berries in the vase.
Can't wait to see more!
I love trains, and have ridden one with the steam engine, here, 4 times, it has polar express but I have not ridden that one. this looks really good, I love the PJs and your beautiful family. your daughter and granddaughter look so much like you. I like the green tree, your home is ready for Santa and looking amazing.
ReplyDeleteAww, how adorable. I don’t know how I missed the Polar Express when my sons were little. It all looks fun. I like trains, too. The Sacramento Train Museum has a Polar Express but it’s sold out. 🚂
ReplyDeleteYour decor is amazing. You totally have a talent for interior design. Has your home ever been featured in a magazine? Your photos look professional. I can’t wait to see the rest of the house!
I did not even know this existed. What fun and how exciting it must have been! I love everything you put out, especially the little trees with the gnome. Can't wait to see more!!
ReplyDeleteHow fun that must have been. Having children around always brings out the magic in Christmas.
