HO HO HO!!

I love our white Christmas, having Lyndon home all to myself(...and Claire) for two weeks, our Christmas tree, letters from family and friends, delivered goodies from neighbors, music, movies in bed because Lyndon doesn't have to study, and hummm- just all of it! (yes, my head is cut off of the above picture-we were just goofing off).
Below is our Polar Express adventure. The train was authentically old and the entertainment was great as well as the company. The "partners group" paid for our excursion (meaning the med school paid) and it was well worth it.



You could even feel the spring in the seat, that's how authentic the caboose was. :)





I love his taped on stash.



Our view.





Hot Chocolate!






At the North Pole. The kids all gathered together to listen and see the Story of the Polar Express and also sing carols. Oh, at look at Santa.



Claire and I both got a silver bell.




Claire with her loot. She also got a cookie, and a conductor ducky.
Merry Christmas!!!!!

I was hoping you would put the pictures from your train ride. Hooray for husbands being home over the holidays...it's great. I love your tree! It is so pretty-- I forgot to send you a pic of mine, it isn't as fancy as yours-- just really tall and skinny!

I will always remember my time as a student as time when I got to be with my family a lot, despite what other people say about the college years. I am glad that you are having so much fun together.
