Holiday Train

The boys decided to brave the winter temps (ha, it was a beautiful 29 degrees tonight) to see the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train!  The boys were so excited and we got there early so we could get a front row view of the train.  The Anticipation was building and then we heard it coming down the tracks.  Mason was so excited to see the train and he hasn't stopped talking about it all night.  Such a fun tradition (this was our third trip) and the fact that this stop is only about a mile from our house makes it even better!  There was no charge to see the train however they did ask for donations for the local food shelf.  After the mini concert (band was held in one of the train cars) they announced that this stop had raised over $105,000 for our local food shelf.  I was shocked by the amount, of course most of that came from local businesses and Canadian Pacific donated $20,000!  So awesome to see the generosity this time of year.
