Today is Friday, Dec 11th. The big day has finally arrived.... riding the CHRISTMAS TRAIN!

Cookie-mama got us upgraded to "adult" car which was nice and comfortable - guess the kids were such angels that we were all welcome to ride in style. The train took us from Veteran's Park to Plains where we stopped for a couple of hours. WOW who would have thought there was 2 hours of anything to do in Plains??

On the ride back, Santa paid us a visit. Hannah didn't want anything to do with him - so he came back while she was sleeping.

What a day. Hannah described the Christmas Train as "Boo-t-ful" ! That pretty much summed up the trip for us too! With Hannah we had a boo-t-ful time.

With Christmas love to all, Pappy

situation.
