Today we had a Christmas adventure on the Polar Express! We met at KBER radio station where each of my boys was given a golden ticket! Then we boarded chartered buses with other make a wish families, and we were on our way! (Caleb stayed cozy at home with Dad because he hasn't been feeling well, but we took him in our hearts.)
Mitchell thought the bus ride was the adventure! He loved it!

The buses drove us through the snow covered canyon to McDonalds in Heber! They provided all of us with a yummy lunch!
The boys were tickled when they were welcomed by Ronald himself!
From there the buses drove us us through Heber City,
Until we arrived at the POLAR EXPRESS!
All Aboard!
We listened to the Polar Express Story, and we were given bells from Santa's sleigh!
We traveled through the snowy canyon all the way to the North Pole!
When the train stopped, we were met again by our busses, and they took us to our final destination.... SANTA! When we arrived at the lodge, Mitchell looked at me with wide eyes and said, "Is this the North Pole? WE MADE IT! HOORAY!"
We were met with hot chocholate and Christmas cookies, then each child had the chance to meet Santa and recieve a special gift!
Thank you Make a Wish, KBER, McDonalds and countless others who created this magical day for our family!
We BELIEVE!

Okay, one should NOT be eating while reading this post. I'm teary (and choking - a little bit). What a beautiful, magical day for everyone. My heart is a little bit sad that Caleb and Dallan couldn't be there to share in this special day. But I'm glad that you had so much fun. Thanks for sharing it with us. xoxo
Sorry...it's me again. :) I'm laughing at Mitchy's face while sitting on Santa's lap. FUNNY!
