We have been very busy participating in many fun christmas time events and parties. First things first, was a christmas party at our house with all of the residents that daddy works with and their families. Paige and I got dressed up in some of the pretty outfits that Gigi sent down for us, everyone kept saying how cute we looked.
As some of you might remember from the previous years we have this really neat Christmas lights festival at the Bristol Speedway track and this year we did it again. This was Paige’s first time and I think she really like it. For my first time ever, Daddy and I got go skating at the festival, they have an indoor rink they setup at the track, it was awesome!
This year Daddy let me sit on his lap while we drove around looking at the lights…and don’t tell anyone but he also let me drive the car, I felt like such a big girl!
When we were all done looking at the lights we got to go inside the track and go on some fun rides, roast marshmallows, eat kettle corn and drink hot chocolate, it was the perfect night! Oh, and of course the most important thing of all…Paige and I got to see Santa, we sat on his knee and told him what we wanted for Christmas!
On Friday night this past week we got to do something so magical…we went on the Polar Express train to the north pole. We went with our friends Kahla, Sadie, Bryan and April to this little town called Bryson City in North Carolina. This is where we got on the Polar Express train, it was just like the movies.
We got to wear our pyjama’s on the train and the conductor came and punched our tickets. There were also chefs on the train that sang and danced and brought us hot chocolate and treats.
We read the Polar Express book on our way to the North Pole and saw Santa’s house and the toy workshop and even where the Grinch lives. Then Santa appeared on our train, he gave us all our own jingle bell and he sat down to talk to us and asked that we be really good girls! On the way back to the train station we sang lots of christmas carols, it was so much fun.
All in all it was a fantastic night, we had so much fun! After we got of the train at 9:30pm we took a few more christmas pictures then we piled into our cars and drove back to Johnson City, TN. We are all so glad we got to experience this magical night before we move back to Canada for next Christmas!!!
Well it is getting late and I must go to bed. We are having a winter storm here right now and I think I might get to go and play in the snow tomorrow morning…yipee!
Can’t wait to see everyone real soon, only 8 more days till we leave for Canada!!!
Love y’all
Emmie and Paige
