One of my favorite evenings in December is the night that Amy, Todd, and the kids come over to help set up the train. This year we had dinner and a family home evening. Aunt Kris gave the kids the new book by President Monson and it was perfect our our FHE lesson. He told the story from his boyhood about a time when he was given an expensive train and how he shared part of it with a boy who had little. It taught a great lesson, and fit right in with our train theme.
The train joined our family many years ago when Todd and Amy were in elementary school. We only had three cars and enough track to go around the tree. Now, we have a new engine that smokes and makes sounds, many cars, and enough track to go through the front room, down the hall, into the kitchen, and back to the tree. It has been a real joy to watch two generations enjoy the magic of the train.
