A Kid's Kind of Weekend


Yesterday we headed to California for a fun filled day with my parents. When we got to my parents' we tried to get P to nap but he was way too excited for the rest of the day to sleep. And who wouldn't be? We were going to take a train trip to the North Pole to see Santa on the Polar Express. We got downtown early to get good seats. Luckily, a family in front of us told us about the good seats so we had a great view of Santa. While we looked for Santa we got to enjoy Snicker doodles and hot cocoa (even though it was 60 degrees out and was not cold in the least). We were also entertained by a man "with dirty hands" (P's observation) and dancing waitresses. The train ride was topped off with a visit from Santa, who passed out jingle bells so we could prove we BELIEVE!

After the Polar Express we went to a Southern style dinner then ooohed and aahed at the Disney themed Christmas light display in a wealthy neighborhood. P thought it was great that there were "Cars", "Thomas" and "Mickey Mouse" light displays. He kept saying, "I see more lights." Needless to say, he was disappointed when it was over but, alas, it was time to end the fun day.
We all thoroughly enjoyed our family time, making memories and experiencing all the fun of Christmas!
