Finally, Christmas Eve! Dad built a cool fire while Tommy and Maria watched. Tommy was also busy counting.

And laughing with his sister. Then we started opening presents (after a short Bible story). Dad got to open a few.

But pretty soon, Tommy took over the show!

We got lots and lots of nice train stuff -- that Tommy wanted to play with right away! We got nice new clothes and books too, but the trains were the big hit!

Look at the really cool water tower, and all the layouts we can do.

And after we got up on Christmas morning and opened the gifts from Santa, we played MORE trains (in our new PJs).
