We continued our tradition of the polar express tickets- we get the kids ready for bed and read to them like usual, tuck them in and then they find the gold ticket under their pillow for a ride to look at Christmas Lights :) They are SO excited and get up and run to car which we already have running with snacks and drinks and Christmas music playing. I think they think its extra fun because they should be in bed. Zach and I have gotten smarter over the years and really do this at 6:30 and not bed time. Haha. Either way, the kids literally jump up and down with excitement EACH year we have done this!
Our Advent book we used this year- LOVE this!
Zach read to them as usual.
Then we surprised them with tickets and they came running down the stairs!
Amazed by the lights.
We found Olaf
And PJ loved the Hello Kitty:)
Our favorite-
The kids each year are to look for the word JESUS or a Nativity Scene. We make it a game
:)
We really enjoy this tradition
The funny part is if you look at the past posts it is the EXACT same each year- the lights, this last picture, and Duke always goes with us.
