The weekend of Emmie's birthday we took the kids to Winnsboro to ride the Santa Train. We tried to go last year but tickets sold out within hours of going on sale so this year I grabbed our tickets as soon as they went on sale!
I always let the kids pick what activity we do on their birthday so Emmie got to do hers a day early...Santa train! She's been looking forward to it for a whole year!

The first half of the trip we were in the dining car where we had hot chocolate and cookies and we listened to some stories. There was also a fun interactive story that the kids (and adults) loved!
Emmie and I sat across from the nicest couple in the dining car. They were there with their children and grandchildren and Emmie and their granddaughter were the same age. And since neither Emmie nor I have ever met a stranger we quickly became friends with their family. The kids all wanted to sit together when we moved to the Santa car and JP was happy to find a granddad to hang out with!
When we moved to the other car Santa came to visit all the kids and gave them all a jingle bell. It was great because he sat and chatted with everyone. Even JP was happy to see Santa! After seeing Santa we sang some Christmas carols.

On Sunday we took Emmie to Moe's for lunch and then later we took her to get frozen yogurt. That night she got to stay up late and play games with Paul and I.
