We made it home after Thanksgiving. The kids were thrilled to spend so much time with their cousins in Maryland. We were even able to celebrate K's birthday with them at a huge ice skating rink - so fun. On the way to Alabama they had a great time playing in all the snow at every pit stop in the mountains and were really very good for such a long drive.

Today we picked out a beautiful Christmas tree. While we were waiting for  Aaron to tie it to the top of the ban the kids and I went inside to see what decorations were left. Macsen fell in love with a train designed to ride around the tree. Lucky boy caught the eye of a manager who was just thinking he needed to clear the tracks to put up something else. He sold us the train for $5! Macsen was thrilled he got to carry the train out and I was thrilled I didn't have to make him put it back. I'll post pictures when we get everything up.
