Katie joined us in bed last night (as has become her habit) about midnight. The only thing is, it's the season of ailments, so we weren't too surprised when she proceeded to throw up in our bed. Our spare set of sheets was being washed, so we had to peel the bottom sheet and mattress pad off, and get back into bed directly on top of the mattress. All of this was after we put together Katie's new bike and Josh's new train set since we had to have Christmas this morning before leaving for Amarillo tomorrow. Needless to say, we didn't really even notice sleeping on the mattress we were so tired!
On a more pleasant note, we took the 2 hour drive down to Palestine tonight and rode the East Texas Railroad over to Rusk. This time of year they decorate it all up and call it the Polar Express. They even serve hot chocolate, cookies, and have dancing servers with the chef costumes. The station at Rusk is decorated up like the North Pole, with a sign and everything. The best part was on the way back when Santa walked into the train car and gave each child a real sleigh bell, just like the movie!
