Santa Arrives

The food was prepared on Christmas eve for Santa and the reindeer. When Sammy awoke and checked the plate outside on the front steps... the cookies were eaten and the apple and carrots had the distinct marks that are typical of reindeer teeth.



Sammy and Nate were excited and immediately checked out the Christmas tree. Sammy had asked Santa for a train set, but Nate seems to have received the train!



Sammy helped his brother check out the locomotive.





These locomotive parts must taste really good!



Sammy was so excited! Santa left him a neat boat which included all types of accessories including deep sea fish, squid, and other denizens of the deep.



Nate indicated to Sammy that there was a letter on the tree that Sam should check out.



Mom Sarah helped read the letter. It was from Santa!

Santa's letter indicated that Sammy should check out his playroom for a special gift. He did indeed - he flew up the stairs and found in his playroom a Thomas the Train set. (There has been a train table in the playroom for two years. Well, the new train set icluded many special units such as a round house for trains, a crane, water tower, bridges.... the list keeps on! (Santa discovered late on Christmas eve that the train set was too LARGE for the table!)

Sammy certainly was excited about this new playroom addition!

Here is a group photo of the Railroad Family of Bridgeport!


Dad Jeff helped out with explaining to Sam and Nate all the unique aspects of this new addition to their playroom.

Sarah and Jeff's photographer gave them a special gift. It was a photo of a WVU football game that shows the players Pat White, Owen Schmitt, and Steve Slaton. These guys are all now playing in the NFL. I believe the kids were excited about this gift!

It was a super Christmas with family and friends. Our wish for you folks is to have a most happy New Year and a wonderful 2010!
