We rode on the Polar Express on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad last weekend. Lorelai had a great time.
On the return journey, they have a Pajama Parade. Can you tell which one is from our family?

Christmas Questions
I got the idea to do this from another blog. We haven't posted anything in awhile, so I thought this would be something fun to do =)
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Both. It just depends on the gift. I like to wrap gifts more though.
2. Real tree or artificial? Artificial. It's just easier.
3. When do you put up the tree? I would like to do it the day after Thanksgiving each year, but it just depends if we are out of town or not.
4. When do you take the tree down? Hopefully by the end of January.
5. Do you like eggnog? Oh yes!

10. Mail or email Christmas cards? We try to mail them, and we always try to make them creative.
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? When I was a kid, I would get the worst clothes from some relatives. I am way too picky, so it is just better to wait for me to tell you what to get or get me a gift card.
