Polar Express

We've kicked the season into high gear despite not having a tree. Things started off with a trip to the North Pole on the Polar Express, part of Sandwich Holly Days via the Chamber of Commerce. It was cute, and Schuyler had her first non-scary encounter with Santa since she was a baby. Griffin, however, met Santa for the first time and was NOT impressed.

Poor Griffin sobs on Santa's knee...

With the conductor. (Looks kind of scary!)

On the train with Griff.
Rich and the kids. They had on matching jammies and Schuyler had fun being out and about in her nightgown and robe (just like in the Polar Express book)!
