Santa Train

Dear Kate and Riley,
It just wouldn't be Christmas without a visit to the Santa Train! Zach was so excited but also a little nervous because he didn't have super clear requests like he did last year. We stepped it up and invited a few more families this year and it was fun to have a bunch of buddies but also a little chaotic, I'm realizing that as we all keep having more kids we're getting outnumbered!

On the way, very excited


Two goofballs waiting for their other buddies to arrive


Too old and too cool to sit with mom and dad, the boys insisted on sitting in the very front of the train. It made me a little sad.



Noah, Will, Zach. Kate sat with them for about 2 seconds and decided they were a little too wild for her taste.


Dad looks creepy in this, not sure why. But we were happy to at least have someone who still wanted to sit with us!



Parker, Annie, Kate. Cuties.


Lily and Brady had similar sentiments about Santa. I just love how Noah is laughing in this.





Despite being promised candy canes and all other sorts of things, Brady still flipped when we put him on Santa's lap. Oh well, maybe next year.






We were happy there was a little kid bounce house to keep Brady safe from the crazy boys.







Loving the bounce house until he bounced into someone's knee


Seven of the nine kids we had

Not pictured-- after this adventure we kept the fun going with a dinner at Lucille's bbq. Pretty insane to take a group with this many kids to a sit down restaurant but all things considered they did pretty well. We had fun!

Love,
Mom
