Old Time Christmas

Tonight we met up with our friends, the Thill family at the This Is the Place monument Christmas village. Our group of 20 people walked around the cute Christmas village and tried to stay warm. We darted in to a couple buildings for a craft and a puppet show. We rode the train around the village and down to the reindeer. We then ran over to the monument and played in the snow for a few minutes. And finally, we ate yummy cinnamon rolls, cookies and hot chocolate in the parking lot before heading home. It was a great reunion with one of our favorite families. Thanks Thills...we love you guys.

Evan's letter to Father Christmas...not sure how we'll get that mini go cart home to Texas from here??!!

We got the front car of the train for the ride back from the reindeer. Pretty cool (and cold) with the chilly night air.

Writing letters to Father Christmas....then you "send" them by throwing them in the fire and the smoke travels to the North Pole and is received by Father Christmas' fire.


McKinley liked playing in the snow. She threw a few snowballs at the cameraman...cheap shot!
