Lovely. My son was obsessed with trains as a whole and I couldn’t count the hours we spent watching model trains go around and around and around …

The year has just whizzed by (maybe just as well) – I can hardly keep track of when I did things, short of checking my posts here and on IG. It’s almost like viewing someone else’s life.
I love all things Christmas, so this display also brought me lots of joy! Thanks always for the encouragement, Natalie!
