Polar Express Party!

ALL ABOARD!!!

We had our third annual Polar Express Party and it was just as fun as all the rest!

Popinkins found himself a good spot in the tree to watch from :)

 I took the girls to the Grand Meander so that Chris could get some cleaning done without our "help". There was a lot of fun little things happening on Grand Ave. We saw Santa at a flower shop and played a spin the wheel game where Linnea won this cute reindeer and Harper and I won flowers! 

Harper did not want to sit on this Santas lap. She consistently shook her head so I didnt push her to do it. We also found Santa's reindeer at Subway and did a craft at Creative Kidstuff. Some year I would love to do the meander with Chris and sample all the soups most restaurants offer. Taking two lil ones into numerous restaurants and in and out of the carseat did not sound like much fun to me!

 When we got home the girls quick got ready to actually go and ride the Polar Express in St. Paul! My parents were given some free last minute tickets to it so we couldn't turn that down! A chance to ride the train before the Polar Express party...PERFECT! And mom and dad could get everything ready much easier.

Partially homemade holiday pizzas!

 Cheese and crackers and wine!

 A little craft time before the movie. Graham cracker Santas were made and also some scrap paper trees which I forgot to take a picture of. Harper must have deleted Linnea and her Santa graham.

The trusty train conductors!

All set for the movie...bean bags, cozy chairs, blankets, couches and friends :) We did have the lights off too so they could watch it just with Christmas lights, however my phone did not capture that feeling very well so it looks like its light in the living room.

What a fun night!
