Santa Train:
On Saturday, amidst the ice and snow, mom and I went to the Santa Train in Monticello. It was the most fun I've had in a long time!
Santa talked to Isaac, and Isaac talked to Santa. He said he wanted a train set. He also told Santa that he couldn't have any of the sack lunch provided because he's allergic to peanuts (and it was pbj, chips and cookies- made in sunflower oil which is still questionable).
Santa told him he'll be sure to stop by Christmas Eve, since he's such a good boy.
The snow-covered countryside was beautiful! Trees are still covered in ice, but the sun was shining brightly and the trees were glistening! The train itself was like going back in time (it must be from the 40's or 50's). Imagine the Polar Express!
Before the train ride, Isaac went to his 3rd Santa parade. He's 3 for 3 in losing it when the bands come by. The loud drums and trumpets throw him for a loop, and he screams for everyone! Unfortunately, he can't have any of the candy thrown from the floats either. Tootsie-pops are a no-no. We will survive.
This morning we visited an allergist and had blood work done so we can know for sure exactly what he is allergic to. No more guessing games after he ate a seemingly harmless did t.v. dinner and broke out it hives last Wednesday night.
We have some of our Christmas decorations up. Isaac loves the lights and the baby Jesus (he says baby Jesus in a sweet little way). I plan to finish up when I stop blogging.
Have a happy day!
