Tears running down my face, cuz this reminded me of my oldest son who was a train fanatic. We took him on the Polar Express ride when he was little, and this just brought back so many memories of him for me. He passed away in 2018 at the age of 27.

I used to give each one of my kids a roll of coins. Quarters for the teens and dimes/nickels for the younger ones. Every time they asked “how much longer or Are we there yet or I’m tired” they had to give up a coin. They figured out not to ask real quick. They kept their rolls to and from our destination. If they had any coins left when we got home they kept! Always worked! No more whining!

Some great tips! However I wouldn't be typing kid's heads to head-rests, in case of accident could cause some serious damage to their necks!

It’s so nice to see y’all doing more things with the little ones. Love this

That song mixed with the Polar Express itself made me cry. My family has had a tradition since as long as I can remember..every Christmas eve night we read the Polar Express and The Night Before Christmas (a little gold book edition) and we listen to a recording of the Polar Express cuz we had a whole set that came with a cassette tape, a bell, and the book. Then my dad always reads The Night Before Christmas. I remember one year, he was deployed for Christmas and we were sad to have to do it without him but he surprised us with a video of him reading the book. And I remember I was so emotional I literally had to get up and go to the bathroom to try to calm myself down. It was so so special. I hope my parents still have that recording cuz I definitely want to have it for traditions to come even after he's gone. I know all my brothers and sisters and all of our kids will definitely appreciate it too cuz they've all been there for it too. Anyway, this just brings back so many Christmas memories and I'm so glad your family had such a wonderful time!

I love Cynthia. When she gets married and has children one day, she will be a great mother. She is so good to her brother, sisters and cousins.

I don't want to be *that* person, but the sleeping hacks are very unsafe. As a carseat/seatbelt advocate, if it does not come with the carseat itself or with the seatbelt, adding to it makes it unsafe. The seatbelt cushion is very comfortable, but it actually makes it easier for the child to fly out of it if there's a wreck.
I also LOVED the Polar Express video. It looked like SO much fun and I hope to take my granddaughter one day when she's older. (We've never done it before). And the Christmas song you guys used for the montage makes me cry EVERY time.
One hack I use for long car rides is each child has a small box (I use a clear bead/craft sorter box that you find in the craft section at the store). The box has little dividers and I add different types of snacks to each little area; like goldfish crackers, fruit snacks, grapes, strawberries, etc that are not messy and easy to eat. That way they get a variety of snacks and it actually works for my family. Hope this helps! Love being apart of the "Keep it Crazy" family. ❤

Bravo! I am a retired teacher (Kinder-3rd grade) and I LOVE the "Are We There Yet" visual. Young children are very visual. They cannot tell time so I used to post pics on a very similar board to show them where we were on the day.

Cynthia is such a good big sis, & cousin. Her with Trey is so sweet. Her & Lizzy r great with little ones. I'm sure she was a great big help on this trip. I loved seeing how the kiddos were having fun . The train was amazing. For some odd reason I started bawling. Love to both families.

The kids looked like they had such a good time! This one got me all emotional. My son is all grown up now. So we are empty nesters. I used to love doing things like this with him when he was a young boy. He is my only child. 💝

[gracehart]

My eyes teared up with happy tears at the end, looks like so much fun!

[LolaWeatherly]

Aww, I love how sweet this video was! It’s so cute how everyone was so happy for it! I am glad that Cynthia came to help out with all of the younger kids! She would do great in a daycare or something with children. Her and Destiny are fanatic with little kids. She fr has the love for her siblings and her cousins. I love you all! Hope y’all have a great day and week! ❤️

This was so nice for the little kids, what a sweet memory they will have !

[kaylaflowers]

So glad you all had so much fun, magical memories! When it comes to all the sleeping “hacks” please don’t use any of them, they are actually very unsafe. If the seat belt rubs their neck then they aren’t tall/old enough to safely ride without a high back booster or backless booster. But I did really enjoy your vacuum recommendation because the one I bought for my van stinks

Great travel tips! We have each child pack a bag of things to do. The desk is a wonderful idea! They usually bring books, games, coloring things, small toys. The bags of things to do to hand out periodically is also a fun idea.

Imagine how fun it would have been to get out at the North Pole and to have Christmas shops to visit? The railroad needs mothers' feedback about that!

[conniemckenzie]

Love the song and the singer's voice!

[candimclane]

Awww so happy to see the littles get a fun trip! I did a grinch party one year for my grands.Then we've had a polar express, and a Rudolph one.We watched the movie, made a themed ornament, had a themed dinner! Soooo fun! Hugs from Missouri 🤗 ❤

[mamaboys]

Oh my! I started crying when they got the bells from Santa!❤

[Trebushea]

Love your videos and you are both such wonderful mamas💕 I don't believe those carseat head supports are safe personally as in Canada we are only allowed to use what comes with the carseat in the box when we buy it because that is what it is crash tested with an only what came in the box but maybe that's just where I live :) wanted to share this comment in case another mom isn't aware before they use it on their children ❤️ 100% no shame towards anyone and you are both wonderful mamas! 💕💕💕🥰😍
