The Polar Express

On Saturday, we battled heavy rainfall and high winds on our drive out to Hood River to ride the Polar Express train to the North Pole to meet Santa Claus. Alia was very excited, but so excited that she didn't nap that day and talked for about 4 hours non stop before we got there. Once we got on the train and she calmed down a bit .... she relaxed a bit too much! She fell asleep before we got to the North Pole and missed meeting Santa. He left a bell for her though and promised to come to our house Christmas Eve and bring her presents because she was such a good little girl. (Max fell asleep at just about the same time, so when Santa came to our table on the train Jason and I both had sleeping kids in our arms ... kind of funny!)

On the train with Daddy and pretty excited about the "coffee" cups that got to drink our hot chocolate out of.

Max and Mommy waterlogged but happy to be on the train.
