First I want to say Thank You, Christina For Telling Me About It

I am so excited because we looked into that Polar Express train ride, and we were just going to do the 75 minute ride, but they have a package that you can get that includes so much more! 

She is going to get to ride the train in a private car with Santa! She is going to get fresh baked cookies and homemade hot chocolate and get to sit with Santa the whole ride! Then we get to go back to the hotel and the elves are going to read her a story and tuck her in bed! We spend the night there in one of the rooms, and the next morning we get to eat breakfast in the gardens and she will get to have her picture taken with Santa and tell him what she wants for Christmas and get a keepsake ornament. 

I am so excited about this! I was going to wait until next year because she will be 4, but she keeps saying that Santa isn't real, so I am hoping maybe this will help. And if it doesn't, at least we got to do it before she completely stopped believing. 

Anyway, I just booked the room and ride today. We are going in December, the 18th. I can't wait!

Also, small updates. Samantha has been working very hard in dance class and at home. I signed her up for the Ringgold and Fort Oglethorpe Parades and the Bradley and Hamilton Place Mall shows. Her recital is on the 17th at the Memorial Auditorium. (Luckily Jessie had some off days left, so he will definitely make it to that, but if he doesn't get off on time, he won't make it to the parades or mall shows. :(
