After visiting Santa (what a disaster that was!) we let Gretchen ride the train. For a girl, she loves trains! Each time we drive over a train track Gretchen says "choo choo" and I always point out a train when we are stopped by one, which is quite often in Muncie! I wasn't sure how she would do riding the train, since it was too small for DJ and I to fit in with her. But, she walked right up to the "conductor" who helped her in the train. We all had to convince her to "sit down", and once she did, she had one of the biggest smiles on her face! She grinned from ear to ear as the train went around the tracks. Sadly, the train ride came to an end and Gretchen through a fit trying to get out, but a group was handing out cookies, so she was easily bribed by that!

She took a minute to show daddy her letter.
She let daddy help her drop it into the box. We were very suprised that she dropped her letter in without throwing a fit that it was "gone".
