Carroll's New Hobby




This Christmas we decided to spend at home not the cabin. Carroll wanted to make it feel more Christmasy so he decided to pull out his train to put around the tree. We happened to stop at Shopco to pick up one item and low and behold he spotted the little village houses and people.
They happened to be marked down so you know he was in for that. He picked out the best ones and then made plans to return the next day when the manager was in to find out about the displays. As you can see with your own eyes it has become a passion more than a hobby, in fact we have found a couple other stores that are closing out of their villages too. Don't worry kids Dad has mellowed in his old age. Rylee spent Christmas with us and she just loved it and he loved sharing it with her. Now he is talked about how cool it will be to show all the kids next year. At this rate I think we will need another house just for his new "hobby"
