Polar Express Christmas Fun Night!

Tonight I write, with an extremely full and thankful heart.

My local library puts on a special event (for free) every year called "The Polar Express Experience".  Only 1500 people can attend so I got online early the day of registration and registered all 3 of us. I was SUPER excited when we got tickets! We arrived and waited in a huge line that went around the library.

They had carolers outside and the kids could run around so the time went by pretty fast.  Inside they had several stations.  You could 1. See Santa, 2. Write him a letter, 3. Do fun games for Elf training so you could be an official Elf (and get the ribbon to prove it), 4. Make reindeer food, 5. Do 5 different crafts, 6. listen to more carolers, 7. listen to a hand bell concert, 8. Hear a conductor read Polar Express and receive a bell when you're done, 9. Frost a Christmas cookie,

10. Ride in a trolly through downtown Rochester that is all lit up with Christmas lights.  If you haven't seen it, it's amazing.  As we were getting in the long line for the Trolly we were informed that after waiting 10-15 min we wouldn't be in the trolly but in a bus. BOOOOOO....I wasn't happy. I wanted the trolly.  waaaaaaaaaaa.... So I said, "God, please let us get the trolly.  Change everything so Asher can have that experience".  (Asher watches Daniel Tiger who always goes places in the trolly and every time I told him we were going in one he would giggle).  We got outside and were in the line for the bus when a lady directed us to another line and said we were the last ones for the TROLLY!!!!!! I'm telling you right now, my God is with us! He is SO good! And he cares about the little things. I'm so thankful. I'm so full.  And I know that if God cares about the Trolly, He cares about our family.  He's moving. He's here. And as the Polar Express book says, "just believe".
