We go to the Polar Express every year, another of our favorite holiday traditions!
Yes, we have many traditions and I love it! I think it is traditions the bind families together. Traditions cement happy memories, celebrate family time, and remind us to have joy in the journey. Nothing makes me happier than when we have just done something really fun together and one of my children says: "This should be a new tradition!" :) And so... the list keeps growing :)
It was perfect that our Polar Express Trip up to Williams, AZ was planned the day after Luke's Birthday celebration because it felt like: "Luke's Train Birthday Party: Day 2" :) And who doesn't want a birthday party that last two days?
(Mine usually falls over Fall Break and our Rocky Point trip so I try my best to celebrate for a whole week, like: "It's my birthday week, I think I should visit the spa for a massage - since it's my birthday and all" ;) (that's a wink)
It was also perfect that Tiff and Jason were visiting us with their little cuties (Cole and Chloe) and went up to the Polar Express with us!
We had a great time...
yummy dinner,
fun train ride,
hot chocolate & chocolate chip cookies,
Santa,
silver bells,
Christmas carols,
swimming pool and hot tub,
and playing in the snow :)
