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!

I don't even want to know what he's saying...
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!
