I have to admit, I probably had just as much fun planning this party as Summer and her friends had at the party. First order of business was creating the train tickets to send in the invite. If you ask Sean, I probably spent way too much time trying to make them perfect, but I think it was worth it! I found a template online, printed them on card stock and then sprayed them with a gold metallic spray.
The night of the party, the kids were welcomed with luminaries lining the sidewalk. We found them on sale at Party City and I couldn't resist. They probably would've looked better if I had remembered to turn the front porch light off :)

| And fun snowflake decorations all over! |
We ate pizza once everyone had arrived. Then we had craft time and made snowflake ornaments. Once finishing those up, we gathered everyone in the living room to start watching "The Polar Express" movie.
 |
| Summer with her friends (minus a couple that couldn't make it) |
 |
| All the goodies on the bar! Hot chocolate, marshmallows, candy canes, M&Ms, cookie sticks and more! |
 |
| Cupcakes |
 |
| Christmas cookies |
 |
| Popcorn is always a must with movies. |
 |
| Peppermint Oreo Pops (I found these on Pinterest and couldn't resist making them. They were super quick and easy to make. You can find directions here.) |
Once the kids had their fill from the bar, we went back to finish the rest of the movie. While on our "train ride", I punched their initials in their golden train tickets. When we got to the part where Santa gave the boy a bell for his gift, I handed bells out to the kids so they could have their own. They loved it!
Our evening was filled with crazy excitement! I only wish I had room in my house to have her whole class here. Maybe I'll have to figure something out for next year :)
