We have been talking about going since last year, but still haven't tried it. Jon is worried that the girls will expect it to be EXACTLY like the book/movie and will be disappointed. I still think it's worth a shot, it does end up at the North Pole. Let me know if you want more info.:)kramsellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05169370582665166224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2674562610629395012.post-27464841341342738852008-11-26T14:55:00.000-05:002008-11-26T14:55:00.000-05:00"Sitting on a sofa snuggled under a blanket with m..."Sitting on a sofa snuggled under a blanket with my children is one of life's simple pleasures."<BR/><BR/>Mine too!Sarahvizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07257891014401157085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2674562610629395012.post-70300845941602426182008-11-26T09:56:00.000-05:002008-11-26T09:56:00.000-05:00I love the Polar Express too.

She has a low tolerance for excitement (she takes after her mama).<BR/><BR/>I SO sympathize with your comment that you normally use movies as a way to get something done. I do the same thing and often feel guilty that I don't sit down with my kids and actually watch the movie with them. I am going to try and do that more this Advent season. Like you said, it's such a lovely time together. Plus, I think it might be the one way I could get all three of my kids to watch all of the Christmas movies I love so much. :)Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05528541804521203406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2674562610629395012.post-79209913437656922012008-11-26T07:59:00.000-05:002008-11-26T07:59:00.000-05:00That is rare here, too, but so sweet when it happe...That is rare here, too, but so sweet when it happens. <BR/><BR/>The Polar Express always chokes me up. I'm always fighting tears with that one and I have no clue why, I'm usually not that way.Kylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03311014761113076785noreply@blogger.com
