Polar Express

SO I've been having some blogging technical difficulties over here at The Lightsey's. Fingers crossed they are cleared up. Therefore, that is why there have been no blog posts in weeks.

So about two weeks before Christmas is where I shall begin.

Saturday morning of Dec 8 we got up and headed to Bham to do a little shopping. I think we stayed in the Bass Pro Shop for 2 hours. That place is surprisingly really fun. We left there and drove over to Calera to ride the Polar Express. We bought these tickets way back in July and they sold out within a week. It's a very big deal for those of you who don't know this!

She was so excited!
Reagan and Anna Claire
We went with our friends Justin and Lindsey, their boys Brenton and Lane, Josh and Lindsey, "little Anta Claire" and also the Corders. The kids all wore their pajamas and looked SOOO cute. We were headed up the tracks to the North Pole to see Santa. TC and I had bets on whether or not Reagan would  freak out when Santa got near her. She looks at him at the mall, but doesn't want to get near him.
Ready to ride!
Our sweet family!
When the train pulled up to the North Pole, Santa and Mrs. Claus were standing outside waving. Reagan and Anna Claire had an absolute fit to see them. We had to wait our turn and they were beside themselves. When it was finally our turn Anna Claire went first. The good news for Josh and Lindsey is that she asked for a ball!! (Sounds like a pretty easy Christmas to me!)
Waiting for Santa


The train ride was so much fun and truly "magical". All the kids loved it and really thought we were in the North Pole. They even had TC singing Christmas songs on the way there. This is one tradition I hope we have for many years to come!
