Christmas Train!

Tonight’s holiday activity: Christmas train at the orchard town center!We’d tried to do this two weeks before, but got there after the train had stopped running. But this time: success! The little thing chugs around the mall for about 15 minutes, sending toddlers into a wish-fulfillment swoon.

Afterwords we had promised Sawyer that we would drive around a little to see Christmas lights, because he’s a little obsessed with them. We found this insane Christmas house in the neighborhood south of ours. When we stopped to take this pic there were three other cars circling to admire. I have really mixed feelings about this kind of thing (energy use being the foremost concern), and yet somehow I am as thrilled as Sawyer when I see such a bombastic holiday display.
