North Pole Express

Other than the fact that it was fah-reezing (and I had no coat to fit my growing baby bump), we had such a fun time at the North Pole Express. It's run by the Grapevine Railroad and you travel along on the train, then make a stop to pick up Santa, who then goes through all the train cars and wishes each child a Merry Christmas.

Admittedly, it wasn't quite as magical as I'd expected (Santa wasn't very convincing and the train ride was waaaay too short for what we paid), but it was still so nice to have our family doing something together, which is a rarity this month with Adam's work schedule. Plus, the lunch that we had afterward at one of our favorite restaurants was heavenly. I think it was the best meal I've had in a very long time...so the day ended on a very, very good note :)

We're so excited for Christmas this week! Merry Christmas to all of you!
