Polar Express

Tonight we all took a ride on the Polar Express. We loved it (the best part...the fact that we didn't have to pay for it-thanks dad!)

It will be a sweet memory for the kids as well as the adults. We ate cookies and sipped hot cocoa.

We sang songs and each kiddie got a bell from Santa.

But I have to say, my favorite part was when the Host of our box car began telling jokes while stalling for Santa. However, it wasn't his jokes I liked but the audience participation part because the next thing I know Kirsten is walking up to him, grabbing the microphone and rattling off this one:

What do you call a pig who knows karate? A pork chop!

And then she walked back to her seat with a huge smile on her face. She killed it- everyone loved her joke and we loved that she did it without being coerced or bribed! That was AWESOME!
