Northpark Trains

Blake is even more into trains this year than last year, and I really didn't think that was possible.  He could watch trains FOREVER! He asks to watch train videos on YouTube constantly-big trains, little trains, it doesn't matter.  He just completely loves trains.  It was fun to see him watch the Northpark trains again this year.  Last year he liked it a lot, but this year he LOVED it.  On our first trip, we watched the trains for 2 hours and that still wasn't enough for him, so we went back another day and watched them for another 2 hours. He could have gone everyday and stayed there all day watching those little trains.  

This car was one of Blake's favorite part of the whole train display.  He thought it was really funny that the car crashed into the light pole.  He would watch the trains for a while and then ask to go back to the car crash.  His other obsession besides Trains is Matchbox cars so it was no surprise to us that he loved this part as well.

Decorating the Tree

Blake was really into decorating the Christmas tree this year.  He loved every minute of it and loved being able to put the ornaments wherever he wanted.  Most of the ornaments he put on the tree ended up in clusters, but we loved it and kept the ornaments just how he placed them.

We also took our traditional "Blake on the ladder" picture.  He loves climbing the ladder when it comes out for Christmas decorations and every year we snap a picture.  Each year he gets higher and higher.  Here is the first year picture and second year picture.
