We had a great time as always...and we found some new friends to join us. Let me walk you through this: (First we meet at the Pizza Hut down the street and clean them out of all their pizza - and let our children run wild in the parking lot.)
Then we head on over and enjoy the "warm" room - this year they had a great little toy train set-up and some coloring stations.
Seriously - does Bree not see the size of the cheeks...she doesn't stand a chance lifting her!
**Random thought - are we really that crazy to board a train with all these rascals for 1.5 hrs??
Taylor's squat is my favorite - even with Kathy's festive hug - he still reminds me of Wednesday Adams coming out of the "happy cabin"...Tim is a close second (I can comment 'cause I'm the smart one with the camera who unfortunately can't get in the picture :)
We realized we had an extra ticket so we grabbed our friend Maggie and threw on some pjs!

Here he is folks...Mr. Christmas himself...the Man in Red...Clark W. Grizwald.
In order to hold these illustrious titles you must:
1. Have 500 Christmas CDs (I'm sure the collection has grown...that's what it was 15 yrs ago) - and start blasting the day after Christmas
2. Make the front page of the newspaper with your Christmas lights display
3. Order a 14ft live Noble Fir and then have a tree stand specifically welded to hold the tree
4. Have a burning log on your TV with Christmas music in the background
5. Film Christmas morning
6. Host live re-enactments (almost live - Mary gave birth 2 weeks later) of the nativity
7. Love a good Hickory Farms beef stick.
Oh!! These 2 got engaged about an hour after this... (no not on the train - but in Flagstaff later that night) AND after spending 1.5 hrs with his psycho family - she said YES!!
These 2 were banished to the farthest corner...
We get to read along to the story...
(MY FAVORITE)
Love the pose...
The Polar Express goes Grinch - we're at the north pole here...(thank heavens for the time warp tunnel)
This dude rocked (even if he needed to read the words to a couple of carols :)
AND...then santa brings a bell...

Submit the green tunnel one its the best!!! Looks like you guys had the train to yourself! ;) Merry Christmas!
Luke is really jealous. He is looking over my shoulder asking me a million questions about how we can ride that train. And on another note - yay for David! That is great news.
David!!!!!
Great photos! They look so professional!
Every time I see a picture of your parents I think, "Wow. I sure do miss them." How many hours have I spent with your parents? Four? Five tops? They are quite a pair.
nice Addams Family Values drop. seriously underrated movie.
Congrats David! That's fantastic! Love the one w/you and Tia too, so cute :) How did you get that lighting on that train? What setting did you use? Did you use a flash?
Ahh cookie - you've just seen the beauty of shooting in RAW :) yes my pictures came out in that ugly dingy yellow but a tiny color adjustment in Adobe Camera RAW (the program you have to download to process the RAW files you shoot) makes coloring changes a breeze!
