Santa Train to Vancouver

On Saturday we bundled up in our winter coats and headed into Mission to board the Christmas train to Vancouver. It was a family event with 3 of my cousins, my two aunts, my grandparents and mum and dad.

I had a blast on the train singing Jingle bells, running up and down the stairs

and talking to Santa.

I even had fun once we got intoVancouver (though not sure if mummy did at lunch time when I was behaving like a brat- she even sat at a different table from me!) Anyways we wandered through the malls, went outside and saw some window displays, climbed up and down a chimney, milked a cow, sat on Santa's lap and ran up and down the escalators. I even got to help daddy pick out some new shoes (he wouldn't let mummy help). We had lots of fun and we even helped out the kids who wouldn't get gifts this year.

I think this might be something we can do every Christmas!

Trains, trains and more trains

Lately I really seem to enjoy trains and since I have asked Santa for trains for Christmas, when mummy saw a gingerbread kit that was a train she had to buy it for me. Last night when she got home we got to make it all up.

Of course it was really hard to wait for daddy to get everything ready and then there was some difficulty with small hands and small candies.

But finally I found my moment and snuck some candy into my mouth and it made this gingerbread assembly super fun. Of course it also made my bedtime super late cause I didn't just stop with sneaking one candy - I went for a whole bunch of SUGAR!!!!

Ta da and we are done. Now I can't wait to eat it!
