"Why to the North Pole of course!!"

Well this is a really late posting (but I was a bad mom and forgot to bring my own camera so I was awaiting pictures) but we got to experience a really fun Christmas FHE tradition this year!! The making of the Polar Express! My friend Sharyn has this fun train-shaped cake pan that makes several pieces of a train. All the kiddos got to decorate a couple of sections of the train (and adults too!) and then we put it all together on a licorice track, complete with peeps snowmen and trees, and cake mountains!

Kids are so proud!

And of course this is to be followed up by a reading of the Polar Express! I LOVE this new tradition and it is going to be a part of the Beckstead household from now on (I have already ordered my cake pan!) Thanks Bertasso fam for introducing us to this - you'll have to meet us in Boise next year so we can do it again!
