We were able to start our weekend off with an activity a little closer to home. Little Buddy's horse therapy ranch had a little Christmas party for the kids. Little Buddy was very excited by both Santa and the Chik-fil-a cow! Little Sweetie eventually warmed up to the Santa; here's hoping this pre-exposure will help her feel comfortable during the upcoming Santa pictures!
Attempting a Santa picture!
"Daddy! It's the COW!!!"
She allowed a solo shot with Santa!
Our travels started Saturday morning with a trip over to Palestine for a ride on the Polar Express! We hadn't done this yet, so we were very excited to try it out. Thankfully, both kids loved it!
Waiting to board our train!
These two are ready for their special train ride!
Golden tickets at the ready!
Time for hot chocolate and cookies!
Are we there yet???
It's the North Pole!
Santa came on the train and gave the kids their magic jingle bells!
After we completed our Polar Express journey, we then drove over to Grapevine to stay at the Gaylord Texas to enjoy their Christmas decorations and the Ice Show they have each year. It was fun, but a bit crowded. We'd like to go back and visit the resort during one of their downtimes to see how we like it then too.
Enjoyed some of the decor before settling in for the night. We all crashed!
The atrium was beautifully decorated!
Heading into the Ice Show! It was so cold in there!
We were bundled up, but they gave us parkas too!
The sculptures were beautiful, but it was so cold and crowded we didn't get to stop and admire them as much as we wish we could have.
The weekend was a great family adventure and I know that the kids are ready for Christmas to arrive!
Hope all of you are getting into the holiday mood too,
