We started December off with a bang! We woke up and went to cut down our Christmas tree (which didn't really happen, as you can see on the earlier post) then came home and got ready to go on the Santa Train. Thanks to our good friends, Jason and Wendy, who couldn't go, we got to go for them! We debated a little on going (actually it was just me. Jer was all for it!) due to the weather conditions. For those of you not living around here, we got the rare occurance of SNOW! We woke up to white, which was so pretty. It stopped for most the morning, but of course, right before it was time to leave it started up again. We ended up going, and headed out to North Bend to catch the train. We bundled up the kids and ourselves and hoped for the best! We safely made it and waited for about a half hour to board.

There was no heat on the train, which made it for a somewhat long, cold ride. It was so pretty though, seeing all the white fields and icy river. The snow continued to come down the whole trip, there and back. During our layover in Snoqualmie, we took a little walk to a cafe across from the train station to warm up and grab some hot chocolate. The train station provided some snacks and hot cocoa, but it was very busy and still pretty chilly, even indoors. We enjoyed the warmth and let Parker out to stretch. We ventured back to the train station and hung out in the gift shop, where we bought Sam a toothbrush with a water filled handle and train in it, so it moved back and forth. She really wanted it! On our way back to North Bend Santa made an appearance and the kids got to talk with him and get candy canes. Over all it was a great family outing. I love the snow, but that day I kinda wished it hadn't come. It was freezing! It made it a little bit harder, but still loads of fun!
Jeremy and Samantha enjoying the view.
Inside the train station they had an area for the kids to play with a Thomas the Train set.
Outside in front of a train. Parker is hiding under that blanket!
