WOW...what a weekend

Despite having to work all weekend we did several fun Christmas activities. Saturday morning Mikal, my mom and I took Carter on the VRE Santa train. The train ride included Santa and Mrs. Claus walking through all the train cars to see the hundreds of children riding the train. Carter seemed to enjoy the ride but was a little scared of Santa. Carter was more interested in the little boy behind him that had several fun toys. Sunday the moms group that I'm in had a family holiday party. Carter had a blast with all the games and crafts. He made a cotton ball snowman, decorated gingerbread cookies, and played pin the nose on the snowman. We had a very busy weekend but it was fun to participate in some holiday activities! Today we went with my mom and sister to get a Christmas tree...we needed one and they did as well so we just went together. We found a beautiful tree! We hope to decorate it tomorrow. I will try to post pictures from the weekend events and our Christmas tree soon.
