a choo choo, a cookie, hot chocolate and a special someone at the north pole...

Yesterday was a very special day for Michael. A while back, he asks his two favorite people to go on a very special date. They graciously accepted and yesterday was the big day. We all got our pajamas on (and scarves and jackets) and stood in line...


Then the conductor yelled "ALL ABOARD"....



He would not take his eyes off the real live choo choo!!! This boy was in heaven!

Thank you Mr. Conductor for helping us on the train!

And guess who was sitting right in front of us!?! Landon!! He's our good friend!

Michael and his two most favorite people in the world...


Juice & Grandma gave Michael his very first Christmas gift of the season...just like in the story...

A bell!!! Just like the ones from Santa's sleigh!!

Nose kisses for Juice! Thank you Juice for the cool bell!!

Nose kisses for Grandma!! Thank you Grandma for the sleigh bell!!

Checking out the scenery on the way to the North Pole...


Singing and clapping to the music...

Then they brought hot chocolate....his very first taste of hot chocolate ever. He really wasn't in to it! :)

But he was into this sugar cookie!!

look mom!!!! This is an awesome cookie!!!

Don't you just want to get some sugar cookie kisses!??!

Reading the Polar Express story...

The conductor came by and punched an "m" into his ticket. He was so excited!

There sure isn't much snow on the way to the North Pole...

High-fives for the Conductor!

Look who it is!!!! We finally got to the North Pole and Santa is there!!!

Waving to Michael!!

Then the elves got on the choo choo and he couldn't keep his eyes off of them!

Oh my.....who are ya'll looking at?!?!

SANTA!!! He got on the choo choo!!

And the sugar cookie is setting in!!

Is he getting closer? Can you see him??

Oh...he is getting closer!!

So excited to see Santa!!

Hello Santa!!

He gave me a bell...straight of of his sleigh!!!! How cool!!

Thank you Juice & Grandma for a very fun date and my very first time on a real live choo choo!!

That is so neat!! I'll have to remember that for next year with Trapper. Where did you get those pj's Michael has on?? I saw some like that in the Land of Nod catalog and fell in love with them. Hoping to find some in a store that I don't have to have shipped. Michael is absolutely one of the cutest kids I know!
