Polar Express Train Ride: December 23, 2012

The Virginia-Truckee Railroad train turns into the Polar Express train for the month of December. Kids ride the festively, decorated train in their pajamas all the way to the North Pole, where it picks up Santa. Along the way, kids are served hot chocolate and cookies and read the story The Polar Express by elves. Santa has a photo op with the children and gives them a small bell just like in the story. Then the train travels back to the station in Carson City, all in one hour. How magical!

The Peanutcracker Ballet: December 11, 2012

The Sierra Nevada Ballet Company put on the Peanutcracker, a shortened version of the Nutcracker ballet. Madeline and Landon sat at the edge of their seats the whole time and clapped. They did very well for attending their first live performance. Madeline's favorite characters were the nutcracker and the mouse king. Afterward we got to meet the ballet dancers and followed up with an ice cream treat.

A cute one I missed
