Choo-Choooooo!

On Sunday my long-time friend and I got brave and took our kids to ride the Blue Ridge Railroad's "Santa" Train! Ben and our friend especially love trains and were excited! On the other hand, Little Miss "C" informed us on the way there that she didn't care much about trains because they were loud. :-) But she ended up having fun anyway!

This was a "conductor" - he didn't drive the train, but gave us a good photo op!

Sitting in our seats.

We were visited during the 1-hour long ride by Rudolph, Frosty the Snowman and Sanda & Mrs. Claus. We sang Christmas carols, heard a Christmas story and were given jingle bells, a coloring book and candy canes.

Back to our house - the other morning Little Miss "C" brought me several hand-written invitations to the Ball. She and I were princesses and Ben was the Prince. He had to pick who he wanted to marry at the end of the ball. He picked his sister. :-)
Can you tell we're reading Fairy Tales in our house EVERY day????
