Trains

We took Rachael & in-laws to Enter-Train-Ment in Cincinnati.
Egads! The place is huge.
We couldn't get her out of the playground.

Post Office

Mailing out Christmas packages at the main Post Office.
Huge line but it really is moving fast.
It's kind of festive since we are all here doing the same thing.
Rachael thinkk it's a hoot.

Santa


Rachael was too freaked out by a strange old man wanting to hold her on his lap. I'm really ok with that.
Teresa convinced her to sit on mom's lap and get the picture taken.
Slane was sleeping and I wasn't about to disturb that.
After the shot we all went to Max & Erma's for supper...and a beer.

Santa

Finally with old St. Nick himself .
She was pretty uncomfortable with some stranger wanting to be so friendly. To the point of screaming actually, but Santa took it like a trooper.

Slane & JC.

This is JC, the nice mobile phone case salesman who let us use his counter while we waited.

Teresa & Rach just moments away from sitting on Santa's lap.

This is Teresa & Rach in line to see the Jolly Old Elf at Easton. We have 40 minutes before Max & Erma's can seat us.

Christmas Tree

Here's the tree. I'll try to take a picture of it with the lights off. Teresa does a great job with it every year. Rachael was able to help this year. My job is to carry it in, water it then carry it out at the end of the season.

Half Lit Tree

Teresa ran out of lights before she ran out of tree. So now our tree is half lit like everyone else during the holidays.

Christmas Tree

It's home & in the house! This year's Christmas tree from the St. Mary's lot. I have no idea when we will decorate it. Rachael is thrilled.

Christmas

The Saturday after Thanksgiving Rachael & I hit storytime at the library & they already had their tree up.
Rachael fell in love with it.
