Christmas trains running!
Our annual Christmas display is a highlight of the season. I’m a little late getting it up since we visited Keely and Mark over Thanksgiving weekend. However, I finally have three trains in motion again around our tree. One of them is the new (to me) 1776 bicentennial engine that my brother Phil purchased in a deal and let me buy from him cheaply. I have since found a caboose and three cars to match. It’s always just a little different from the year before. Here’s a rough video of it in motion. The clunks are because the cameraman got too close to the action and nearly derailed a train.

Hannah asked a few days ago why we couldn’t go to Pastor’s house for Mikayla’s piano lessons…turns out it was because she was hoping to play with the trains again! 🙂
Well, she is smart! I have them up partly for the kids sake. So JoAnne and I will be setting times soon for the children and families to come in and see them and play with them. I have more train cars on the front track that the kids can put things in and on. I’m looking forward to them coming.
