When I learned that the main library was hosting its first Polar Express celebration, I immediately wanted to support it. Combine our nationally ranked library with a gathering which includes reading and a visit from Santa himself . . . what could be better? Well, as it turns out it does get better. Because we enjoyed the evening with a number of good friends. This is definitely a new tradition for us.
I was so envious of David in the reading room . . .
Yea, she's pretty proud of that gingerbread man. And rightfully so . . . Audrey's artistic skills have really blossomed since she has a teacher who is a skilled artist.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that the Huntington train display is there. I don't have a great shot of the display, but I do have a shot of Amelia looking stinking cute and very grownup, standing by the display.
Oh, it was a great time indeed . . . spent with new friends, old friends . . .
and capped off with the first gift of Christmas from jolly Old Saint Nick.
We really do live a good life.
Oh, I'm so happy to hear that it was so wonderful! My girls were signed up, but I had surgery the day before and was passed out on pain killers that night - I woke up around 9 all confused and upset! Jon didn't realize that it was Friday, so he was just hanging out with the girls watching movies... :)
Looking forward to starting the tradition NEXT year!

A love of libraries can never begin too early. Such wonderful pictures! David looks like he is having just as much fun as the kids. Amelia by the train...priceless! What a wonderful new holiday tradition.

Oh, David definitely owes you for letting him be the reader ... not to mention, capturing the magic on digital like you did!
