Christmas festivities...


Okay, I feel like there aren't enough hours in the day to get everything ready for this Sunday and Christmas in 5 DAYS!! I feel like Derek and I are running like chickens with our heads cut off. We have also had wonderful experiences with our little family this Christmas season. I'm trying to soak it all in, even in the stress of other preparations :) So, I needed to post. 

POLAR EXPRESS 
On Thursday morning, December 5th we surprised the children with some new Christmas jammies. We told them we have tickets to the Heber Valley Polar Express. They were very excited!



"All Aboard!"

 It was FREEZING but we all bundled up and snuggled lots.
This is the first time Joseph has kept a hat on. I think he sensed how truly cold it was.
 Happy and cheesy grins all around.

 We even met Mrs. Claus. She brought us some yummy chocolate chip cookies. The elves also brought us some hot cocoa. The kids were most excited for the yummy goodness.

 We were told to look out our windows to look for Santa at the North Pole. It was SO fun once we got there, to see Santa out the window greeting us. SO COOL!

 We even had a visit from Santa. Thomas asked for a dinosaur and Emma asked for ice skates.

 And Joseph...well, he just wondered what in the world was going on. :)

What a fun adventure we had. We love making the memories as a family!
