Sunday it was off to the Chelatchie Prairie Railroad to ride the steam train. Since we were at the end of the line when they loaded, we ended up in the train car with open windows and no heat. It was cold but everyone was dressed pretty warm and you could see everything real well. I liked the open car better than the one with tiny windows.
Tor got very excited when the train blew the whistle before taking off. He loved to look out the window to see everything.
The train went into a tunnel and then stopped to see Santa. Santa was surprised how easily Tor jumped onto his lap as many of the little ones before Tor cried. As you can see Bridget was all over the visit with Santa, but Jillian, being 7 now, wasn't as enthusiastic. After visiting with Santa they were thrilled to get a toy. The girls picked out stuffed animals and Tor wanted a truck. We all enjoyed drinks and lots of Christmas cookies.
