Christmas Train

My goodness I am so behind on my blogging :) On December 16th Derrek and I took the kids down to Alvin to ride the Christmas Train at Living Stones Church. To make this event even better our good friends The Smith's went with us. Mason was so excited that he was going to get to take a train ride (kid loves riding trains heehee). Anyways, it was a cute and inexpensive christmas activity for us and fun was had by all. When you got there they had snacks that you could purchase and a little ( i do mean little) shop that you could browse through. In the back of the buildign they had Santa's wonderland set up for pictures with Santa.

Here is my attempt to get a picture of the kids with the pretty decorations. Samantha is very hard to photograph these days. Child does not want to stand still.

We went and bought our tickets and waited for our color to be called (all the tickets were color coordinated to specific times that the train ran).

Here is Mason showing me his ticket

We were the second train ride of the night so once we realized that it was almost our turn we headed outside to wait for our color to be called. It wasn't long after we got outside that we were able to get on the train, but how cute do they all look waiting patiently in their rocking chairs?:)

This is the one and only picture I have once we got on the train b/c my camera died but here they are all excited and ready to go :)

The train ride was about 12 minutes long and it drove us through a bunch of light tunnels and scene set ups of gingerbread homes and nativity scene's. The kids loved all the lights and made it a point to scream out every single thing they saw. haha.

The church has a pizza parlor on site too so after our ride we all went over and had some pizza. It was a great family fun night with great friends. We will definitely be going back next year :)

Hope you all had a safe and happy holiday!!
