Santa Train

This weekend, we got to go on the Santa Train. The Santa Train is a central Virginia tradition. It's a 45 minute ride on an historic train taking off from the town of Dillwyn and heading to the town of Alpha, during which you pick up Santa, who walks around and chats with all the children. We were lucky enough to get tickets this year from my friend Jayda, who couldn't use hers at the last minute. Here are some pictures from our adventure...

Both of the kids loved looking out the window at the scenery passing by...






















And for the most part, my view of Baby Girl during the trip was this...

























OBB has never met Santa before. He hasn't ever wanted to sit on his lap, so I haven't pushed it. This was his first time telling Santa what he wanted for Christmas, and he did a good job!




















However, he was less thrilled about having his picture taken with Santa.





















In this one, I think he's saying, "Really? Are you serious? Look at this guy's glasses!?!"




















We all had a great time...


































And by the end, we had some sleepy little ones on our hands.
