So, the babies have been here visiting (along with Mommy Lyndsey and Mr. Lynn). Mimi was so excited to have them come, their first visit to her new home in Colorado. It is great, too! The house looks so much better with my family in it!!
So, one of our stops was, of course, the North Pole. We had to take a train up the mountain (or at least to the 4 mile stop!) to get to the North Pole. Santa rode the train with us, greeting all the children and their parents and grandparents. We sang Christmas carols on the way up, Macy and Mimi singing at the top of their lungs!! Luckily, they gave us songbooks that had all the words, E-cause (as Macy says) we didn't know all the lyrics by heart.
At the North Pole, all the children and their families got off the train, and the elves and toy soldiers served cookies and hot chocolate, while we waited for our chance to sit on Santa's lap and give him our list! The hot chocolate was necessary, because, even though the sun was shining, it is very cold and windy at the North Pole.
Santa's elves were putting Christmas tattoos on the children. When, suddenly, a snow ball fight erupted. It was every child for him/herself! Laughter rang out at the North Pole, for all the children are happy (and good) when Santa is watching! We are not sure where Santa lives at the North Pole, though, his house and workshop are hidden somewhere deep in the mountains, so that children can have surprises on Christmas morning.
The trip to the North Pole was exhausting (or maybe it was the altitude) for Macy and ER slept all the way down, while Lyndsey and Mimi sang Christmas carols. Mr. Lynn took pictures and enjoyed the ride. All in all, a beautiful day at the North Pole!
