Santa Comes Through!

Ben and I woke up to Dex exclaiming, "Santa brought new sleds!" After we got up and pointed out that Santa had eaten all his cookies and left a note, Dex noticed that Santa had set up in the living room the new automatic train and box blocks that he had asked for. "I didn't know Santa's elves could make cardboard!" Dex observed. Yup, "box blocks" are empty cardboard boxes with reindeer duct tape.

The automatic train has lights and real train sounds (even a whistle) and smoke comes out of its funnel - exactly what Dexter was hoping for.
