For our Sanderson Christmas Family Event this year (we usually do brunch with Santa at the Jelly Belly Factory), we went on the Polar Express in Downtown Sacramento. Grandmops (Alyce) made us ALL matching jammie pants and she did a wonderful job! We were some of the comfiest riders and we definitely looked the most festive :)
It was a suprise to the kids, so once we got to downtown we told Charlie :)
All the kids and I about to get to the train station in our matching jammies!
Here we are on the Polar Express
Anticipating the train ride to the "North Pole"
These two were my favorite to watch
Charlie got his ticket
The baker/hot chocolate server sat with the kids for a picture
He even showed them some tricky hand movements
Aunt Kris, Grandmops, Grandpops, and Uncle Ed (yes Uncle Ed did not wear his PJs, he claims he was running behind at work...don't worry he was harassed by us all night and all the people we passed commented on his Grinchness/Scroogeness/Humbugness-it was really quite funny)
Bouncing around on the seats while the Polar Express song is on
The kids getting their tickets punched by the conductor
Pretty aunt Kris
"hot, hot, hot, hot chocolate". The kids were mesmerized by the dancing waiters.
Cousins!
Chase is kissing Charlie...those two!
Looking to see what's coming next! (hot chocolate and cookies)
Goof-balls
ahh...snickerdoodles
