What's Going On Here?

 I love the look on Rylan's face trying to figure out what these guys are doing.

Christmas Eve

 Dressed for Christmas Eve Service - what a good looking family.

Rite of Passage

 Nathan teaching Kaiden how to tie a tie.  Trevin looking on.

Head Gear

 The boys still enjoy wearing all the Christmas hats, etc collected over the years.

Christmas Cookies

We did our annual Christmas cookie decorating.  As usual the ratio of sprinkles to cookie was heavy on the sprinkle side.  We had fun and cookies were carefully chosen to be eaten when we looked at the Christmas lights after dinner.

 

Seven

 Gavin is seven today.  His birthday present request - a doughnut maker.

Thomas the Train

I took Gavin and Rylan to the Railroad Museum on Thomas the Train Day for their birthday.  

We looked at the model train exhibits and were able to into several train cars to look around.  This engine they are standing in front of is an actual engine their great grandfather operated when he worked for Rio Grande.

I think the highlight was the actual train ride around the grounds pulled by none other than...

 Thomas himself!
