All aboard

For primary Polar express train ride. This is Brother Bishop, he is the one that made this party happen. 4 months ago we contacted him about building a train for our party, from there what was in all of our minds came to life. The kids were given a golden ticket in advance. We had 3 different stations with the last and 4th station being Santa and the polar express story.

Our Polar Express. It made all the right train noises. We were all pretty excited about our train. The top pics are all the night before setting up.
Let the FUN begin! The kids waiting to board the Polar Express singing Christmas Primary songs while waiting.

The rwins were not so sure they wanted to see Santa.
Roscoe read The Polar Express to kids while other kids waited to see Santa.
Later that day we went to lunch for Amanda's 28th bday at a really great Italian restaraunt. Can't remember the name. After a great lunch we wandered the shops on 3rd south and went into a book store called "Rare books". It was a fun afternoon. After lunch I went back to the ward to gather all the decorations and take them back to the families that let us use them. My mom really let me undecorate her house so we could decorate our party. Then I had to redecorate her house. It was all quite the process but worth it. Teaching by love ,example and laughter
