Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's to all. Mark and I had a unique experience on the Hill Country Flyer train ride and dinner. We treated ourselves to a pre-dinner dessert at Chez Zee, then loaded on to the steam train in Cedar Park for a train-ride dinner and oops yet another dessert. We had some characters on the car we were riding.

Claire is such a good mommy to her dolls. Nana her nanny made her a precious knitted blankie sack for her dolls and gave her a new baby doll, "Lilly". Claire makes sure Lilly is taken care of by nursing her and pumping milk for her. She keeps us laughing. Enjoy below!
