Dax's Recipe for Pancakes!

Dax's teacher asked each of the kids how to make pancakes.  This is how Dax would make his pancakes!

Polar Express Train Ride, Palestine TX

Dax is really into Christmas this year and loves everything about Santa.  He calls Santa, "Ho Ho" which I think is so cute.  He also thinks anyone or thing with a Santa Hat on is a Ho Ho!  I had heard about the Polar Express train ride in Palestine and thought Dax would really enjoy it.  So, we bought our tickets and headed to Palestine.  The Fielder Family and My parents joined us.  It's about a 3 hour drive so we decided to get a hotel room so we did not have to spend the whole day in the car.

Once you board the train they serve you hot cocoa and give you a little Christmas treat.  The train conductor also walks through and punches each ticket which Dax thought was really neat and took his picture with him. During the ride they read the Polar Express story and then we arrive at the North Pole.  Santa gets on the train and walks through each car and gives the children little bells.  (My only complaint is I wish Santa would have stayed on the train longer than just run through). On the way back, we sang Christmas songs and good ole time.
