Our community has an little event for families for Christmas. They set up a polar express ride around town. We bought tickets early and the kids have been looking forward to it for a month. They hae their golden tickets and we all showed up in our pajamas. We hopped on a little bus and they played Christmas music and the Polar Express read outloud while we drove around and looked at Christmas lights. This is David being our conductor. "All aboard"
When we made it back to City Hall Santa was waiting outside for us and we walked into the North Pole. It was so great and relaxing. There were only about 20 people on the bus so we got to have some unrushed time with Santa. We had hot cocoa, cookies, and M&M's.
Eliza had drawn a picture for Santa and gave it to Santa. She was so sweet. She looked off in the distance and was thinking and I kept asking her what she thought. I knew she was trying to process something. I was worried that she didn't love the Polar Express and was disappointed. But later that night she kept asking if we can go again on the polar express about 5 times. I think she loved it and was transported to a dream land.

Love the update of your Michigan life. What fun at Christmas time, from the tennis rackets, the polar express, the white Christmas to the surprise TV. It sounds like it was a magical time for you and your family.
