Choo Choo!

Yesterday, we ventured out to our museum to see their Holiday Train display. A sweet museum staffer snapped this for us:
Clearly, Evan was too enthralled by the trains to look at the camera.

Four trains wound through scenes from North Carolina. The state capital:

Kitty Hawk (including the Wright brothers' plane):

And many more. All of the buildings were made from natural materials, and they really were amazing. Evan was so excited to watch the trains emerge from tunnels, and Issa loved finding different buildings and animals tucked in the snow.

Just when we thought it couldn't be any better, guess who arrived on the scene:

Thomas! The kids could actually make him go, and they were thrilled.

The kids also got a bird's eye view of the tracks:

Issa liked it, but Evan was in love. The trains were really amazing, but they couldn't compare with that little boy's face.

After we watched the trains, we sat in the new coffee shop to enjoy a little coffee and some train cookies while playing with wooden trains. Life doesn't get much better.

Now, I need to get in the kitchen! We're having a little Thanksgiving around here today!
