All Aboard!

Tim and I decided to take Abby on the Polar Express this year. She's been talking about trains, loves watching Thomas, and her attention span has increased to well over 10 minutes.  :-)  We asked her if she wanted to go on a train and her response was, "The blue one."  Not a questions, but a statement.  When I mentioned it might not be blue, she said, "The orange one."  Well, Abby...it might not be orange either.

We received our tickets in the mail and I showed her the gold ticket that is hers.  Her eye lit up like a Christmas tree!  She has faithfully asked about the train every morning solidifying we made the right decision.  I pull up Polar Express on line, show her the train, and we share a little bit of the story.

The author, Chris Van Allsburg, wrote an excerpt on Amazon that I found heartwarming.  Scroll down to the Amazon exclusive to read it.  It will tug on your heart strings and will compel you to hug your loved ones a little closer.
