The bulletin has golden tickets with each kids name on it, as well as a jingle bell hanging from beside it. The small writing at the bottom says, "We believe".
The day of the event, they had the Polar Express come to school. A local group had made their float at the Christmas parade this theme, so the PTO "borrowed" it for our event.
It was still there the night of the movie. Camden isn't acting goofy; she couldn't stand still for a picture and was dancing with excitement.
We walked the red carpet down the hall to get our ticket. Then we had to go to the gym entrance and give it to the conductor to let us in.
We brought a blanket and pillow and used it to claim our spot while we waited for the start. Camden (and lots of other kids) enjoyed running around, getting their energy out (she is chasing her buddy Caylum to the top-right of the photo).
They got to wear their pajamas to school that day, as well as to the movie that night. In addition, we were able to decorate cookies, sip on hot chocoloate, and get some popcorn to enjoy during the show.
When we went back to the gym, her friend Marley had arrived and she moved spots to sit with her.
They cuddled up together when the movie began.
Some of Camden's 6th grade friends she knows from the neighborhood were also next to us and the two little girls wanted to cuddle up with them too.
Camden did okay, but it did get long and was late...she didn't quite make it to the end before she was ready to go. We almost missed Santa, but saw him arrive (by pick-up truck) and got to wave at him in the parking lot. Boy we giggled seeing him drive something besides his sleigh (but he didn't need his toys yet, so it made sense!).
