The Polar Express

Yesterday it was finally time for our big surprise for the girls and little man!  We took them to Bryson City, NC to ride the Polar Express!  Hayden had figured it out before we left being that she was wearing her pajamas but we kept telling her that wasn't her surprise, so when we got there she was still surprised but made sure to tell me that she was RIGHT!  Silly girl is getting harder to surprise lately.  They all enjoyed the train ride, especially Colton he played with Pop the whole time.  He was such a sweet baby boy, I swear he has got to be the best baby in the world and I am not biased at all just ask Mimi!  He never cried one time yesterday except when it was time for him to eat.  Hayden and Gracie enjoyed everything about the train ride from getting hot chocolate and cookies, to singing christmas carols and the best part when Santa got on the train at the North Pole and gave them their bells!!!!  Hayden and Colton sat with Santa after the train ride but Gracie did not!  She says that she just didn't want to!!!  Oh well maybe next year.  It was such a fun expierence for all of us and I am so glad that we were able to go!!!  The girls also got to expierence driving around in the mountains, Mommy and Mimi were a little car sick and I am pretty sure Gracie was about to really be sick, I already had a bag in my hand ready.  Hayden didn't mind at all she was even laying down through most of it!  Lets just say the twist and turns ended at just the right time!  We went a different way home with less twists and turns and we also stopped at the Dillard House to eat dinner.  It was very good, Hayden enjoyed her meal, you know picky little Gracie ate some corn and bread oh and don't forget dessert(her favorite).  Thanks Mimi and Pop for everything!  We love you!
