The Santa Train

On December 3rd we drove to Chatanooga to meet our good friends, The Jennings, and to ride the Polar Express! My good friend, Elizabeth, told us about this great train ride several months ago so we bought our tickets early and couldn't wait to go and experience one of our FAVORITE books! However, Braden got really sick after Thanksgiving with a upper respitory infection and then a virus on top of that. WE debated taking him because he seemed to be better that day, but Rue Rue and Papaw said that they would keep him. (I am glad that they did becasue he ended up running a 103+ fever that night!) We really missed having Braden with us, but the 3 of us had fun traveling to the North Pole with some great friends! We are hoping to go back next year.....maybe even venturing up to Bryson City and trying out their Polar Express! It is a neat Christmas experience!

All Aboard!

Ready to ride

Getting close to the North Pole All the kids got to go to the microphone and tell what they wanted Santa to bring them.

It's Santa!

My sweet Brooksie!

We LOVE spening time with Elizabeth and her family (I am not sure why Justin is not in these pics!) Reagan is getting tired by this point:(
