"The Polar Express" Party

I have a cute friend in the ward who came up with a great idea. She invited all the little kiddies from the ward over to have a "Polar Express" party. The kids came in their jammies, and we watched the movie "The Polar Express." Stevie and David absolutely loved it.

Here's a picture of the kiddos after they were given their "ticket" to the Polar Express.
During the part in the movie where the children are served hot chocolate on the train, our hostess (Amie) brings out hot chocolate for all the kids to enjoy. She also passed out little jingle bells for the kids to shake when it was time to "jingle their bells if they believed in Santa." It was so adorable and creative!


After the movie, we had a delicious lunch and I totally the kids pigged out.


I just loved this idea. Granted, most of the smaller kids only took in about 1/3 of the movie (other people's toys are just too darn interesting), but even so, my boys really remembered the experience. They talked about it all day. Adn I have to admit that I loved getting a chance to talk to all the awesome moms that were there. Such a fun way to start off our Christmas-filled week.

Hey - can you tell me how you make your words cross out? I've been trying and can't figure that one out! :)

Cheree- I can't write it out here, because then it will just show up in strikeout! ;) but Here's where I found out how to do it:

How fun. I'm so glad that you have a good group of gals to take care of you in that ward, even though we miss you tremendously here.
