Kicking Off the Holidays!

We are kicking off the holiday season already at our house. This is the week the party begins......Thanksgiving, my birthday and Christmas fun galore. We got started a little early on Saturday night. We had a family adventure to Crown Center and Union Station to see the trains. Jack has become quite fond of trains. This adventure was right up his alley. Hope loved them too but was more interested in the phone at Fritz's than anything. We've been able to avoid Fritz's for 18 years. Saturday seemed like the right time to break our streak. Fritz's is a hamburger joint where you call in your order on the phone at your table and a toy train delivers your burger and fries right to you. It's gimmicky but kids go crazy and love it. Ours were no different and highly entertained. The best part was that we were not the only traveling circus eating there. We fit right in.

These are the moments that make my heart happy!

Hope, we need to look at the menu BEFORE we call in our order.

Look Daddy....Choo-Choo! 

I'd like two cheeseburgers, fries and two milks please. 

This is going to be awesome! 

         Toy train fun.        

I'm waiting for Thomas to come back around.

The Lego trains were fun to build.

Making some friends at the train table.

Waiting in line to ride the choo-choo.

I don't like riding without my sister.
In fact, I screamed to make sure everyone knew I was not happy. 

Yay! Conquered the toy train at Union Station!

Night cap...a quick snack and a drink before bed. What a fun night!
