On Saturday night, we had a Polar Express Night!! We had lots of yummy treats, hot cocoa, and yummy things to put into our hot cocoa! We also watched The Polar Express on "the big Screen" in our familyroom. We decided we couldn't enjoy all of this fun by ourselves, so we invited the kids' cousins to come over and join in.
Here are the yummy treats we had:
Hot Chocolate cookie cups:
Reese's Trees:
Marshmallow Dippers:

All of our yummy treats!
Everyone came over in their jammies and they got a ticket for the Polar Express!
Then we dug into our treats!
After everyone was all sugared up, we started the movie!!
Suddenly, we heard a distinctive "Ho Ho Ho!"
Santa had come to visit us!!!
Everyone got a chance to talk to Santa and he even gave them all a bell from his sleigh! Just like in the movie!!

Everyone with Santa:
It was SO fun to see the kids reactions, especially the littlest kids! They LOVED seeing Santa and getting to talk to them!
After Santa had to go back to the North Pole, we settled back down (as much as they were going to hyped up on sugar & Santa, lol!) and watched the rest of the movie.
It was a fun night!!
