4th Annual Polar Express

My sister and brother in law hosted their 4th annual Polar Express party a few weekends before Christmas.  I am soo impressed with how much more elaborate they get every single year!  No detail goes unnoticed and they work so hard to make this a magical night for all of us!

Posing in our beautiful Christmas outfits in front of the ticket booth set



Starting the night with some cookie decorating!  The set up in the basement was gorgeous and every kiddo had their own personally embroidered apron to wear :)
 







Marae and Ashlyn LOVE their baby Hads!
 


Time to make some ornaments!
 

Almost time to go upstairs to board the Polar Express!


The Conductor (aka Papa) punching their tickets
 




Look at this thing!  It had a light and dry ice to make smoke too!
 

Papa reading the book to all the kiddos
 

Uncle Johnny telling a really cute story and handing out prizes
 


Hot chocolate and popcorn time
 


Ending the night with the movie!
 

And opening a couple presents from their cousins since we wouldn't be with them on Christmas...
 


Had to document my fruit I brought to the party - thank you Pinterest!
 

What kind of annual traditions will your kids remember about Christmas when they are older?
