All Aborad the Polar Express!

This ward does not dissapoint when it comes to parties. I hate to think of the time it took the activities committee to plan and carry out something like this! They delivered tickets to the whole ward instructing us of the theme and telling us to wear our pajamas. When we got there, they had a large train cut-out and train tracks with a conductor there to punch our tickets. The gym had been transformed into a winter wonderland with hot chocolate waiting at our tables. They had a yummy dinner and then showed the kids a shortened version of the Polar Express movie. And then right on cue as the closing credits music swelled, Santa walks in with his jungle bells shouting "Ho!Ho!Ho! Merry Christmas!" The look on Hailey's face was priceless! She was in awe and so excited to see him there! She and Preston hopped right up on his lap and Hailey told him; "I want 'Up'and 'Pinkalicious'--it's a book!" This time of year is really so magical with children. I just love them to pieces!
