Nana (Stephan's mom) came to visit for a couple days. She took the train over from Spokane to visit her mom who lives in Bigfork. Irene went with us to the Conrad Mansion for santa pictures & a tour. Ravenna was not a fan of the big guy in the red suit. Year 2 where she won't look happy in her Santa picture. Hudson had no problem at all. We all ended up taking the train back to Spokane together. We had planned to drive back on Friday for the Christmas holiday & the weather changed our minds. The kids were thrilled to ride the train & I was thrilled to not have to drive over the snowy mountain passes.
Santa pictures at the Conrad Mansion in Kalispell, MT.
Nana loves this Kirtland Cutter mansion.

Doing the last of our Christmas shopping in downtown Whitefish by sled. Fun!
Cold & snowy day!
The dining car.
Almost "nigh night" time on the train.
The sun was just coming up & we were following the Kootenai River. It was such beautiful scenery with all the snow. A great memory for our kids to take their first train ride with their nana.

Cute post, Beb! I love that you guys took the train home...what an experience! I can just hear Irene talking in that last pic, explaining things to Ravenna. So cute! Can't wait to spend some time with you guys!
Can't wait to see the Santa picture either! Last year's was priceless!
I love these pics, so festive. Glad you found a safe way to Spokane, the train was always my backup too (although I never got to wear my PJs en route :(
