Steam Train Ride with Santa

The Steam Train here in Chehalis did rides with Santa this winter. Again, my fun-seeking, Christmas-loving, grandkids-pleasing Mom insisted on taking the kiddos for the experience. They love trains and Santa- so it was perfect. This was our fourth Santa encounter this year! (In case you're counting how many posts with Santa we have, it's only 3, because one encounter was in my mom's neighborhood when Santa drove by with the fire department handing out candy, and we didn't have the camera.)

Dayton thoroughly enjoyed the entire ride

Daphne was unwilling to sit on Santa's lap,

but she was willing to sit with Santa's Elf

Dayton is excited every time he sees Santa
He asked for candy again for Christmas, but Santa suggested Legos!

Thanks again Mom for your insistence! What a blast! My kids will definitely remember this Christmas season and all the fun you have packed into it.
