The Polar Express!


Months ago, we purchased tickets for us to go on The Polar Express. Mount Hood Railroad has many train excursion and themed train rides and since Noah LOVES trains, we thought this could a new tradition to start as a family. I was really nervous that we wouldn't be able to make the hour long drive to the train station in Hood River due to the snow and freezing temperatures, but we made it and had such a wonderful time!


All Aboard! Waiting to start our adventure to the North Pole!

He has his hot chocolate on the left and his cookie in his right hand while watching the snow covered ground pass bye! Oh and the song, "Hot Chocolate" from the movie playing overhead! They really tried hard to follow the story line while on the train!

Ty really liked the cookie too!

The conductor even punched the tickets while holding it up high-as to let the the 'confetti' fall! Noah really liked that!

Noah's eyes NEVER left the pages of the book as it was being read--he has only seen the movie and was in awe that there was a book!


We made it to the North Pole! Santa and his elves are coming aboard!

Here comes Santa!

Noah was really excited to meet Santa--actually he was speechless!

Tyler's turn to meet Santa!

Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas! After they met Santa, Santa gave them a Jingle Bell-Just like in the movie!
