Henry and Charles, my little Shepherd and Wiseman! They danced for a long time celebrating Jesus Birthday, switching outfits, and finding new gifts to take to the Newborn King(pink shoes and a shell necklace)! Precious moments at home with the boys........Priceless!

Charlie and Santa are just hanging out by the tree. Charlie is so funny, a month ago Grandpa Nolte was trying to fix Santa so he would dance and we had his pants down to take a look around and Charlie is still very concerned about why we would pull them down and does the store Santa pull his down too?

Canada Pacific Holiday

Train 2008 Rochester,MN

Yes, that is a train all decorated for the Holidays! My parents have seen this 3 years in a row and I always thought, "Oh, just another cheesy holiday moment."

I was wrong, it was awesome! Both sides lit up, one of the boxcars opens and pours out smoke and Santa starts singing. Santa will get off and visit and hand out Candy Canes and there was free hot cocoa. It was a riot and the boys loved it.

Check out their schedule for the next few days/weeks as they travel the Midwest and back to Canada. It is well worth it!

If you go: Dress Warmly! Layer yourselves and the kids. It is an outdoor event and we saw many with blankets, sleds for the kids, wagons, even dogs.
