Christmas Trains- -the long-awaited Part 2...

So, at long last, here is Gramps' masterpiece for Christmas 2007. Notice that there are not one, not two, but THREE trains running simulateously! Is it any wonder that Mugger is mesmerized by it all?Here's another shot with the completed village...
Yet trains for Mugger and Bug are not a once-a-year affair, for the back room at Nonnie and Gramps' house is covered with them 365 days of the year. I love the S curves under the elevated bridge!
And as you can see, it's never the same layout twice. Here Bug is admiring Mugger's handiwork in a shot 3 weeks after the one above...
Goodness it's nice Nonnie and Gramps have so much space for playing trains so the kiddos can get their weekly fix!

Christmas Trains!

Last Wednesday Nonnie & Gramps took me and the kiddos to the Nixon library to see the holiday train display. Mugger liked lots of the trains, but Bug was more interested in laying on the benches! (All those pix turned out blurry as she was too busy!)As many trains as there were there, Mugger was most excited to help Nonnie and Gramps get their train set up once we got back to their house. He even helped move and clean furniture to get the train running sooner.
And of course, once we got home, he was all excited to get our Christmas train set up too. Those pix will come in another post...
