Donald and I took Abby and Emily to Chattanooga for a ride on the legendary Polar Express this year! It was so much fun to see how excited the girls were about this trip. We set them up in the car in the very backseat so that they could spread out all of their snacks, animals, sleeping bags, DVD players, and other riffraff. It was a long ride to the train station but well worth it to see the looks on their faces. And for an added surprise...Santa Don made an appearance on our train! Of course, Emily clammed up and wouldn't talk to him when he came through. She told me later that she "just didn't know him so well in that suit." The little girl across the aisle actually climbed behind her mother shrieking, "He's gonna get me!" when Santa came through. I told her Mom not to feel bad - Emily wouldn't speak to Santa either and it's her own grandfather! At any rate, it was a great experience and lots of fun to see Santa Don all spiffed up in his red suit! We won't even discuss the fact that my little streaker took off all of her clothes in the backseat during the trip home....
Here we go!
Emily called this "the toy train"

Funny faces for the camera

Matching PJs!
Getting tired
At least Abby would let me take her picture with Santa!
We made it to the North Pole!
LOVE this picture of Abby!
