We had a great Christmas Break! We went up to Williams AZ and rode the Polar Express. (www.thetrain.com) It is the old Grand Canyon Railroad converted magically into the Polar Express. It is fantastic to be on an old train with dancing waiters, hot chocolate, and the story blaring from over head. Once you arrive at the North Pole, Santa Clause gets on the train and gives you a bell of Christmas. On the way back from the North Pole you sing christmas songs. I love it. We have done it with the Hancock's, but this year we did it our friends the Vanstee's. Lilly had so much fun eating dinner with her friend Audrey at the lodge infront of the big fire place. Audrey also lent her blanket, because Lilly left her coat at home. Yeah that is right. Someone is bound to leave the most important thing you need in a white out. Oh well. This year it was a real blizzard. It took a very long time to get home and we saw quite a few cars turned over on the sides of the road. It was so exciting to have snow in AZ and to ride a real train. Josie and Lilly had a great time.
