Ride the magic carpet on a rail

So, as you know, I have four boys.

And they have always, always, always..........forever,

and always, have been begging to ride a train.

Well, they finally got to, and this is what we've been hearing the entire last week:

"Twain!" "Twain!"

What made it even better was getting hot chocolate and cookies on the train (I mean how cool is that?)

AND

they got to see and talk to Mr. AND Mrs. Claus. And they got a toy.

But aside from all that, riding the train was cool enough by itself.

Yippee hee-haw doodle! We're on a TRAIN!! (Not that Winnie looks that excited.)

Oooh, Santa, you look tasty.

What? I know this is the one time in my life I'm actually allowed to talk into this microphone. But this guy is way too creepy so I'll pretend I'm not really here......

I want......I want.......stuff that was not on my Christmas list so Santa has to hurry and scramble to get me what I want. But I'm cute anyway, right?

My mom is sitting there steaming because I wore this shirt that she considers to be hobo-ish. And now this moment is saved for history. Darn that stinkin' jacket that covered up this hideous shirt.

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, don't we look excited?!!!

Hello pretty Mrs. Claus

And see? I was even in the Christmas spirit! So happy with my bell!
(or else they spiked the hot chocolate, one or the other)

A magical carpet ride on rails.........yes, that's what it was.
