Polar Express and Ward Christmas Party!

First of all, my boys LOVE Polar Express...so we were definitely "on board" when we got an invite to a Christmas Party at the IMAX to watch the Polar Express in 3-D We went with some Bashford cousins and some of their friends!
Luke, Samantha, and Sam sipping their hot chocolate and eating their treats waiting for the movie to start!
After the movie was over Santa came and gave everyone a bell...the kids were thrilled!

Samantha, Nate, and Ben showing off their bells!


They also met the conductor...when we went into the movie the conductor punched their really authentic looking tickets!


We also had our Ward Christmas Party on Saturday...it was fun! Although, somehow we ended up very last for dinner and very last to see Santa...we obviously sat in the wrong spot..so our kids were VERY cranky and all over the place!
Also, I thought I had convinced my kids what they wanted for Christmas...but turns out (as usual) Ben has a mind of his own (last year he randomly ask Santa for "Jesus slippers and a scooter with a Jesus bow") ...this year he sat on Santa's lap and ask for a "real reindeer...like Rudolph"...WHAT? I guess we are going to need to work on that before Christmas because I am POSITIVE that Santa won't be able to pull that off!

A real reindeer?...Santa has his work cut out for him this year! So cute! Polar Express looks like it was a lot of fun!

Wow, that looks like so much fun! What a great idea. That's funny that you try to 'convince' your kids of what they want...I do the same thing :) I love that Ben asked for a real reindeer. So cute!

We saw that last year at the IMAX- isn't it trippy? A little too up close and personal for me.
