All Aboard!

Merry Christmas (almost)!  We had a terrific ward party this year.  The theme was Polar Express and everyone was invited to wear their pajamas!  It took a little bit of convincing, but the older kids finally agreed to wear their striped jammies so we could all be matchy-matchy, more or less.  I think we looked great!

 There were fun little craft activities for the kids.  They all had fun making things and were oh-so proud of their creations.

At each little station, the children would get their ticket punched, like the movie.  (See the gold "Believe" paper in Em's picture to the left?  That's the ticket.)

 Santa came for a visit as well!  Last year, Juliana wanted nothing to do with visiting Santa.  This year, however, she was the only one who wanted to talk to him!  Just look at how sweet and happy she is!!!  Melt my heart!

It was a wonderful evening!  Everyone who planned and carried it out worked REALLY hard and it showed!  I wish I had taken some pictures of all of the decorations and different components of the night.  It was quite impressive and everyone had a great time.
