I know the day after Thanksgiving is supposed to be for shopping, but I tried that last year and it was miserable. So, this year we took the kids to the "North Pole" on the Polar Express Train.
Getting ready to go. The kids were so excited to go to Santa's house. Bryton just thought being on the train was neat.
Grinch 1 and Grinch 2
On the way we sang Christmas songs with Jingle Bells and it was a tantrum when we had to give them back.

Looking out the window at Santa's house as we arrived.
Telling Santa what to bring.
Bryton actually wasn't scared of Santa - just mad she wasn't getting a candy cane immediately!

I think the kids had a great time (I did), and what a fun and magical memory to have.

What a great idea. I can't handle the Black Friday madness either, but taking a train ride is much more memorable than sitting at home like I did! Good for you guys!!
We went last year and made some great memories... looks like you guys did too! I am sure it was a lot more fun than fighting crowds at the stores.
We went on the Pumpkin Liner last year. It was great fun! I am glad the Polar Express was fun.
