Happy National Pasta Day!

Pasta is a must in my household. Whether plain, with sauce, olive oil are in broth my little ones love it. Tonight I actually made it without knowing it was national pasta day.

A good friend of mine had surgery so besides the typical flowers what do you bring a friend: FOOD!

So I dropped off sauce and pasta! Must admit was pretty darn good!

Here's some fun pasta facts. http://www.nationalpastaday.com

All dinner was missing was a glass of wine!

Let's Meet Santa: Essex Steam Train Santa Special

We took the kids for the first time last year and it is so much fun. Imagine pulling up to a train station all decorated in Christmas gear. Even the conductors are shining bright with Christmas cheer. You board the train. The train inside is decorated for Christmas. Christmas music fills the cabin. Then all these characters come with "elves" they stop and take a picture with your children. Each child gets a small gift. You just keep singing carols.

Train is moving and Santa and Mrs. Claus come,the children's face light up. It's amazing. Truly gets you in the holiday spirit. We go Thanksgiving weekend to help us kick off the holiday season. Tickets are only $20 a person. Really a great family fun experience!
