Fun on the Christmas Lights Train

We took Mom and Dad to a place not far from out house, in the city, that has a 1/8 scale miniature train built on the property. The man that owns the house has been putting up lights and running rides on his mini train at Christmas time for the past 15 years. This year there weren't as many lights as he has been ill but the novelty of riding the train on a snowy night still was fun and exciting for all. Aidan was sick so he and Chris stayed home this time.

Christmas at the Culligan's

Christmas was eventfull at our house this year. We began Christmas Eve with 6 little ones running around the house full of excitement! Our friend Jody came over for the evening for dinner with her 3 little girls, actually they aren't so little anymore!!

These are the umbrella drinks I made for the kids to enjoy with dinner. They were a hit!

Chocolate fondu for dessert! Yummy!

Sam quite enjoyed the chocolate fondu as evident by the chocolate on his face!

Aidan: "Santa's been here and he ate all the cookies we left for him!"

Ben: "Except for one bite of cookie. He must have been getting full!"

Sam: "All the carrots are gone, the reindeer ate them".
