12/5/10: Holiday Express Train Ride

We had a fun time again on the Holiday Express Train Ride out of Reading. It is a "Polar Express" themed ride in to Boston and back on the Train. We went the last two years.

Here are the kids with Santa. Evan decided to give him a coloring page that he had colored with Frosty on it.

12/4/10: Ditson Holiday Fair

We went to our first Holiday Fair at Evan's school. It was so much fun for the kids. Everyone had a great time. Here they are seeing Santa.

And looking cute.
Evan shopping. He was so proud of himself and his gifts. He really got in to shopping for everyone. He was so adorable. He kept saying don't look Mommy till I get it wrapped. He had his bag and his money.

He won two raffle items which made him very happy. A Sponge Bob game and 2 haircuts at his Barber shop.

Here are the buttons Mommy designed for the fair.

Can't wait till next year.

11/28/10: Zoo Lights

We went to Zoo Lights at the Stone Zoo this past weekend. We got to see lights and some animals. The kids enjoyed it and liked seeing Santa again and refining their list of items they are requesting.

So pretty.
The kids and John checking out the lights.

Kids posing for me.

Hard to believe all of these lights came from one person's house.

11/20/10: Edaville Festival of Lights

As I said in my earlier post, it is potentially the last Festival of Lights at Edaville. Note all my Edaville posts here. If you have the time I would go and check it out. They added a lot of lights and things to see this year. We had a great time as we always do and got there early to be able to do the Train ride during the day and again at night. Here we are in our annual night time train ride picture.

The kids looking so cute in one of the trains.
I had to take a picture of the sign, as it says it all. We really enjoy this holiday time tradition.

And of course a trip to see Santa!
I love how you can see Evan's reflection in this picture. Evan was really cute on the way home asking if Sir Topham Hat was going to be sad if Thomas couldn't come to Edaville any more.

And at night.

Lauren having fun. Notice the slippers. Yes she walked out of the house with slippers on and I didn't bring shoes for her. Luckily I called our friends that were meeting us and they brought some boots for her.

Evan with his favorite thing, trains!

Evan the Engineer.

With the big Santa. Lauren, Evan and our friends Haley and Aubrey.

On the rides.

Posing for some pictures.

And to all a good night...
