The Polar Express and Santa's Workshop!

The Polar Express!
Just before Christmas we headed to Flagstaff and caught the Polar Express.  What a fun train ride all the way to the North Pole (or so they say).  We all had a blast pulling out our winter clothes and spending time in the snow.  Made it actually feel like Christmas.  The best part is in order to go on the Polar Express you simply have to put on your pajamas and a warm coat!
Getting into their Polar Express attire at the hotel before we left.
 
 Our little man all bundled up!

 Silly time with Mommy!
 
 My little cuddle bug (kept me warm)!
 
 Finally on the train.
 
 Picture time with Daddy.
 
Santa's Workshop!
Who knew, but the portal to the North Pole and Santa's workshop is just outside of Flagstaff.  Lucky for us!  After our train ride at night, we decided to stop by Santa's workshop the next day before heading home.  What a fun place!
 Here they are getting ready to open the workshop doors.
 
Time to make the Christmas toys with the elves. 
This year they made teddy bears and foam shooters.
 
 This is the toy sorting room where all the toys come down the shoots.
 
 Guess who took time from his busy day to say hi!
 
 Cookies and hot cocoa in Santa's bakery.
 
 Always fun having elves around!
 
 Getting a few lessons at elf school.
 
 Yeah, we graduated!
 
 Our own special visit to Mrs. Claus' office!
 
And before we left the workshop we had to spend a little time with Santa!
 
 
Waiting for the bus after we were done at Santa's Workshop.
It definitely was chilly!
