All Aboard the Polar Express

Our little guy enjoys a birthday right in the middle of the holidays! We usually wait to have his friend party until the weekend after New Year's, but this year we decided to embrace the season. He loves trains, and is a huge fan of the Polar Express movie! We turned this Christmas and birthday season, his 5th, into a Polar Express extravaganza. After a family trip to ride the Polar Express in North Carolina, we hosted a small Polar Express friends party. It was by far the easiest party we have hosted.

  They enjoyed a quick dinner of pizza, and then came back to the table for cupcakes, cookies, and hot chocolate.

  Hot chocolate!

• Activities / Games

  As the children arrived, they sat down to a table of homemade play dough and many Christmas cookie cutters. Once everyone arrived, we showed a Youtube video of the Polar Express book by Concorde Studios. Next they enjoyed a quick dinner. After pizza, they went to the playroom for lots of toy fun in "Santa's workshop". As they played, each child was given a chance to make Reindeer Food for Christmas Eve. They enjoyed time to just play with each other the most!
