On Friday all of the Rise cousins went on a ride on the Polar Express. We all headed up to Hood River to catch the Polar Express Train at the Mount Hood Railroad. Grandma Rosie bought all of the kids matching Christmas pj's and they all looked cute and comfy in their new jammies. The conductor greeted all of us, and we were on our way to the North Pole. We had hot chocolate, cookies, read the story of the Polar Express and sang Christmas Carols while waiting to get to the North Pole to meet Santa. We saw where the Elves lived and they got on the train to help us sing. Finally, it was time to see Santa. He met the kiddos and gave them each a silver bell. Allie says it is a bell that a reindeer wears around its neck when guiding Santa's sleigh. Allie and Makena did not want to sit on Santa's lap but they both took a bell. All of the other cousins sat on Santa's lap and were happy to tell him what was on their list. It was fun to all be together on our little trip to the North Pole.
