Riding the Polar Express 2011

Reid has not been all that interested in watching movies, until we showed him the Polar Express.  I thought he would be scared of it, since there are a few parts that may seem frightening to kids, but Reid has latched onto this movie & has loved it like I have never seen him like any other video.  We took Reid to ride the Polar express train in Grapevine 2 years ago, but he didn't seem all that into it.  I knew after him being obsessed seeing this movie, it was a must do on our list of Christmas activities this month! It was a HUGE hit and we will definitely be repeating it again next year!


Such a cute little Christmas activity for the kids!

Waiting anxiously and impatiently to get on the train!

The cute little variety show they put on before we go on the train. 



Reid's reaction after his ticket was punched by the conductor.  Priceless!

Love that they encourage the kids to wear their pajamas just like they did in the movie.  SOOO stinkin' cute!

This is the bell that Santa hands out to every kid on the train.  Reid has been wearing this every.single.day since we left the train ride.  I think he would sleep in it if we would let him!

Riley-Roo did quite well on the train ride.  MUCH better than we thought.  He had a few moments at the beginning, but with a few snacks and a water bottle to keep him entertained, we managed to make it through the whole 20 minute ride with him!

Merry Christmas!  Can't wait to ride the train again next year!  I do think this will be the highlight of Reid's Christmas season!  He's still asking me if we can use the whole punch to punch his ticket again.... :)  Love the little things that kids get excited about.
