Santa, trains and snow, oh my!


Today we were off to the Santa Train in North Bend. Before we left home it began to snow at our house so we hoped for snow in North Bend as well, making for an authentic Christmas train. The boys were very excited to board the train as you can see. Here they are at the North Bend Depot, no snow yet...



On the train ride to Snoqualmie, still no snow but still very fun! A cute little old man, (he told us he was 81!), came down the train aisle with a little microphone singing Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer and Jingle Bells, we all sang along.

Brian and Kevin had better things to do...

When we arrived in Snoqualmie we waited in line to see Santa! We got a very cute picture of all of us. Santa asked the boys what did they need to explain? Were they naughty this year?

After the photo-op, Chase told Santa what he wanted for Christmas...

...then Ryder. After seeing Santa the kids got a special gift, a wooden train. Ashtyn wasn't too sure about the big guy. Santa said that he knew just the thing to bring her.

Thanks to Nana for treating the boys with tickets to the Santa train!

While still in Snoqualmie we boarded a kitchen car that served hot cocoa and cookies, yum! After our tasty treat it was time to get back on the train back to North Bend, still no snow...

Upon our arrival in North Bend the snow started to come down and hard!
