Saturday evening we went to ride the Polar Express. It is a real train ride at the Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum in Calera. We had arranged it so several families who had adopted children from China would be on the same train. It was so great to meet other families and to visit with our friends. We arrived at the train about 4:15 and we departed for the North Pole at 5pm. Sam was so excited! Aunt Marcy, Isabell, and Grand Mary came up from Mobile to join us and to spend the night. Sam and Isabell wore matching "twas the night before Christmas" pajamas. They looked so cute and everyone thought they were twins. When the train started they read the Polar Express to all of us. Then we sang Christmas songs and looked out the window until we arrived at Santa's warehouse. Santa and Mrs. Claus was waiting for us to arrive. Some elves came on the train first and gave jingle bells to everyone. We rang our bells and continued singing songs until Santa and Mrs. Claus came aboard and visited with all the children. Sam saw Santa and was yelling at the top of his lungs "SANTA"! We had so much fun. Below is video of Sam ringing his bells.
