We moved onto our street in Lakewood eleven years ago, right before Christmas, during the coldest winter I remember. I was 9 months pregnant, and pretty overwhelmed at moving all of our stuff after work in the cold and dark. And pretty overwhelmed about becoming a homeowner, and pretty overwhelmed about becoming a mother any minute.

Every time we drove down the street, we were greeted with this Christmas train-- which takes up the entire hedge from the sidewalk to the house. This isn't the greatest picture, but this train has moving wheels, smoke coming out of the smokestack, and Santa and elves and soldiers and toys in it. It cheered me up every time I saw it. I felt like I must be moving onto a street where they loved kids a lot to go through all of that trouble. One of the first things my very bundled up new baby boy saw was that train.

Eleven years later, the train is still going strong, and is the focal point of the walks my family takes after dinner during the winter on what turned out to be a very neighborly, child-friendly street.
