The Santa Express

We had a great day at The Santa Express.  This is our third year going and every year we have a blast (click HERE and HERE to see the last two years).  This year a bunch of our friends went and the kids all had a blast playing together!!
The kids loved singing Christmas songs.
Claire loved playing with her buddies.
Oliver loved playing with Owen.
Shannon and Charlie snuggling up on the train.
Oliver loved sitting on Papa's lap during the train ride.  He loved hearing the whistle!
Even Mark and I got a picture together.
Brian was a hit in his Grinch shirt.
Oliver was in his glory watching all the trains.
Claire loved walking on the tracks with her Daddy.
Oliver loved testing out all the trains.
He didn't even mind waiting in the long line for hot chocolate with Grandma.
Claire and Giada couldn't wait to get their hands on some hot chocolate and cookies.
Uncle Nick preformed some magic tricks to make the hot chocolate cool down a little more quickly.
Oliver wanted me to take his picture with the "train picture".
Claire enjoyed sipping on her hot chocolate and visiting with Owen while they waiting in line to see Santa.
Baby Nicholas had a great time on his first outing with the gang.
The kids loved visiting with Santa!  Oliver wasn't scared at all this year!
The cousins hanging with Santa.
Nicholas meeting Santa for the first time.
The Komosinski's taking their usual great "Quick Family Picture".
When we got home Mark put up the outside Christmas lights (because it is randomly 51 degrees out).  The kids changed into their other Christmas jammies and we watched Daddy. And I practiced taking some pictures.  I am getting very close to perfecting the "Christmas Light Picture".  It is not easy with two kids.

We had a great time!  It was really fun to have a bunch of friends and family with us.   I can't believe this is the third year that we have done this.  Time flies!!
