CT Christmas Wrap Up

We had so much fun in CT, it was difficult to fit it all in during Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. So, we extended the fun at home and out and about, as captured through these highlights!

Christmas Day 2K15

Christmas did not disappoint, as Santa came through with all sorts of goodies, the weather remained unseasonably warm, and all the cousins and friends were able to play with the new loot! Top it all off with some chocolate, and it was a holiday for the ages!

Breakfast with Trains and Santa

For a special treat, we had breakfast among the trains and Santa Claus as we geared up for the holiday season. While the food left something to be desired, some quality time with the man up North, a train ride through West Baltimore and tons of train toy tables meant a good time all around!
