We had such a fun day at the North Pole Express last Saturday! We met Laura, her girls, and her parents there on Friday. We had dinner and stayed in a hotel which the girls loved! They made tents, cuddled in the bed, rode the elevator up and down, and played lots. Saturday, we drove to Calera to board the North Pole Express and meet Santa. Emerson loved the train and looked out the window and pointed at everything. Anne Bailey liked the train but was really interested in seeing Santa. She told Ruff that she did not want to "hold Santa" and that she wanted Ruff to tell her what she wanted for Christmas. Once Santa got to us she immediately reached for him, gave him a hug and started whispering in his ear. She told him she wanted a car and a microphone. Emerson wanted nothing to do with Santa and would not go near him so we settled for a family pic.
