Essex Steam Train in Essex CT Santa Special

Every year we try to do something special on our daughter's birthday. Last year we got tickets to see Fresh Beat Band. This year we took all the kids to Essex Steam Train to meet Santa.



We decided to do the Santa Special since it took place during the day and would be easier for the younger ones.  The carts are all decorated. The whole platform is decorated. Everyone was so nice and it was so much fun!
 



 First Mrs. Claus came and visited us. 

Then Santa. 



Then Rudolph and the elf handed out bells for all the kids. 


Then Pablo the Pegiun Came around


Then the holiday Mouse came. 


Santa came back and the kids sang Jingle Bells and all rang their bells. All the characters came to each individual group and we were able to take pictures with the kids. There were a lot of people but they made sure to give everyone undivided attention. 





Coach Tickets were $20 a person. Children one and under are free. They had to stay on your lap. It was so worth it and so much fun. It really got me in the spirit for the Holiday Season!

Check it out!



Celebrating Mom

We finally got to celebrate my Mom's birthday this weekend. This fire cracker taught me everything I know and even when I don't always want to admit it she's pretty brilliant at times. She's my best friend and I am grateful for all the strong "women" in my life and look forward to watching our next generation grow to be just as strong and even more successful!
