Skunk Train

We had so much fun last year on the Skunk Train, we knew that it was a must for this year as well.  You know us and trains!  :)  We loaded up and headed north with some of our favorite friends for an evening train ride in our Christmas pjs.

I know I'm biased...

BUT is this little guy not the cutest?!?

And I can't leave out his older brother!

I'm so thankful for these 2 little men and am so proud to be their mommy!

Tractor Parade

We've been doing alot of things for the second year in a row lately :)  BUT this one is our ultimate FAVORITE and does NOT disappoint!  The Lighted Tractor Parade in Calistoga, CA!  Seriously, I've been looking forward to this since we left last years parade :)

Jake LOVED it.  Pierce LOVED it.  Mark and I LOVED it.

...until next year!  i can hardly wait :)

Holiday Express Train

This was such a hit last year we thought we would for sure do it again this year.  There is a man who lives in Richardson who has a train in his front yard from Thanksgiving through New Years Eve. (www.holidayexpressridingtrain.com) He offers free rides for children and adults. It is the cutest little thing and of course Jake LOVED every second of it!  We left Pierce at home because we had just found out that day he had a double ear infection.  It was a little too cold for him to be outside.  Next year!

Trains!

Second annual day of trains!  Jake was unbelievably excited to ride the "train" and then to see the miniature trains at Northpark.  Sweet Pierce has followed his big brother's lead and fallen in love with them too :)
