Polar Express Party

When our children are all grown up, I want them to remember fun traditions and exciting times from their childhood. We started the tradition of A Polar Express Party. C & H could invite a few of their friends over for a night of popcorn, cookies, & hot cocoa while we watch Polar Express. We gave our invitations which included a ticket they needed to bring to the party.



The Invitations




The Treats


The Movie Watchers





During the movie, there was a knock at the door. We were surprised to find bells for everyone, with a tag that said "Believe". They were also very cold, like they had just come from the North Pole ( or freezer :).

This was a very fun party to have. Callie & Hayden made the cookies & popcorn themselves, which added to the excitment. This will be one of our Christmas traditions.
