Christmas Fun

On Saturday we had my little family Christmas party at Brook & Melissa's house in Lehi. We first went and watched Ryder's soccer game, he was awesome! Then we ate dinner and had the kids do the nativity story. They did a very good job this year.

Then we drove to Heber in a blizzard (seriously, it was). We barely made it there in time to ride the Polar Express. The kids really had a great time. We got hot cocoa, read the book "Polar Express", sang songs, Mrs. Clause came and talked to each of the kids, the elves danced with the kids...and then...we made it to the real north pole and picked up Santa. He got on the train and gave each of the kids a bell. Hayden could not believe that our train could leave from Heber and go all the way to the north pole, ya gotta love magic!

Getting their bell from Santa My cute little family. This was the only time they sat by us on the train, they sat by my parents the whole time.

Afterwards we ate at the Dairy Keen in Heber (ya know the one with the train). I could not get Rylan to eat, he couldn't take his eyes off the train. He thought it was the best place ever. I think we may have to take him there to eat on his birthday.

Jimi, that looks like a ton of fun. Definitely more fun than the haunted train ride which scared the junk out of our children. Next time we'll have to try the polar express!
