Train to Santa's Grotto

Today was Daddy's birthday so Mummy and I decided to take him to see Santa as a treat. We went to Exbury where they have a "Santa Special" steam train to take you to his Grotto.

As soon as I got on the train I got a chocolate coin which I thoroughly enjoyed eating. We sang Christmas songs as the train went along including my favourite - jingle bells!

Half way round I thought I spotted some reindeer...

I did - look that girl is talking to one.

I think Mummy enjoyed meeting the reindeer as she insisted on having her photo taken.

Finally the big moment came and I got to meet Santa Claus.

I told him what I wanted for Christmas and he told me I had to be good and leave a carrot for Rudolph on Christmas Eve.

At the end he gave me a jiggling Ladybird book for being such a good girl which I opened before I even got out of the Grotto!!!
