Getting Into the Christmas Spirit

Today we had our first real snow of the season!  Arabella was so excited to be in the snow when I picked her up from school.  We didn't get more than an inch, but there was just something about the snow falling and seeing everything covered in white again, it was so beautiful. 

And then tonight the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train stopped in Beaconsfield.  Arabella got all bundled up and was so excited to run outside and play in the snow a bit before we left to see the train!  The train had already pulled into the station when we had arrived, it was so pretty all decked out in lights from the engine to the caboose!  Arabella was so excited to see Santa!  June, Joanne and Christopher joined us.  It was chilly but singing and dancing to some Christmas songs warmed us right up.  It was a fun night and was for a good cause - the train travels all across Canada and makes stops to collect non-perishable food for the less fortunate. 

There is nothing like a little snow, some Christmas music and a train all decked out in lights to put you in the Christmas spirit!
