Christmas in West Branch

This year we went to the Hoover Library at West Branch and enjoyed the old-fashioned Christmas.  We saw an ice carver, viewed some trains, took a carriage ride, and ate some awesome doughnuts (first good doughnuts I've found in Iowa!!! other than the Amish ones.)  The kids also got to see Santa.  

Waiting in line for Santa:

Spencer is suffering from "my coat makes me a marshmallow and so I can't hold my head up" here.  Which reminds me of this picture of Ellie and Meg also being marshmallows, which I will post below.

(Ellie is wearing my coat because I was super-smart and forgot to bring hers.  Luckily it was not too cold so I wore my jacket.)

Trains:

I'm so cute:
