the train

Jerry's dad bought him this train on his first Christmas (Jerry was 3 months old.) Every year my dear husband takes out his prized train and gets it running. Often there are repairs to be made or adjustments from being packed away with all our Christmas decorations, but I secretly think that's part of his fun.

And now sharing this tradition with his boys is just priceless to watch. They are so excited and respectful for Daddy's train. It was a big deal when the train finally came out for a night of good old fashion fun.

Then Daddy put in "train juice" (as Cole called it) to make the smoke. Train and smoke... now that's fun :)

These are the moments I want to remember....
