4 Dec -- Christmas tree and the Polar Express

We jumped right into Christmas when we got home from the Netherlands.  We managed to decorate the tree and house before sending Dan off on his own little vacation in the Bitburg Hospital to recover from a nasty bout of Pneumonia.  The all expenses paid 5 day/4 night stay was just what the doctor ordered.

 Charlie took on the tree decorating like it was a mission.  

 Henry required several reminders not to remove the ornaments or shake the tree.  Many reminders.

 The final touch

 There goes the final touch.

 Complete!

 We have a really nice train set that the kids love, but with Henry being at a bit of a tricky stage we bought this Lionel Little Lines Polar Express train set for the young years.  It's much more kid friendly.
