It ended up being a family gathering as the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train made it's stop down by HyVee last evening. 
Because of the roads earlier in the day we thought it would be only Jill and I since we live just five minutes away. As it turned out, it was a very pleasant evening but Miss N's cheeks were getting pretty rosy by the end!
The train makes it's stops during the Holidays as a promotion to support the local food banks and is just another way to enjoy the Season.
We thought we'd left home in plenty of time to see it's arrival but as we got closer there was quite a logjam of traffic waiting to make the same turn we were. Then as we got out of the car Jill heard the whistle not too far away so we had to hightail it to get in a position where we could see it actually come in.
Last year we went down to Winona to see it and missed it's arrival by just a matter of minutes.
