Santa's Arrival at the Train Station

I'm super late again on posts, but things have been busy, busy, busy around here, as they tend to be around this time of year! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are enjoying the beginning of a happy, healthy New Year! I had a very blessed holiday, surrounded by friends, family, and the two most precious little guys in my life! And I don't want to miss out on posting about our wonderful holiday moments together, so here's is the beginning of several holiday posts.

On December 4, we experienced a wonderful Las Cruces tradition at the Railroad Museum. Santa arrived at the station aboard a holiday decorated Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad diesel engine! It was the most fun experience! And watching Jaden's face as he waited in anticipation was priceless! Santa was available for pictures after his arrival, but Jaden was not feeling that brave, so he settled for a candycane from Santa's helper instead. Then we took a tour of the station, listened to a bell choir, and got to see tons and tons of model trains. It was a wonderful start to our family holiday festivities!

Pumpkin Patch

I know these pictures are incredibly late - I just seem to be one (or two) steps behind everything these days (hmmm...possible New Year's resolution there!). But before I can post our Thanksgiving and Snow pictures, I have to post our Fall and Halloween pictures first (I like things in order :o)! These pictures are from out trip to the Mesilla Valley Maze and Pumpkin Patch in October! It was Jaden's third time going to the Patch and Elijah and cousin Aubrey's first. They all had a wonderful time!
