'Tis the Season'

...To Be JOLLY!!! We are finally trying to get into the Christmas spirit and yesterday seemed to help a bit. We took the kids on the Polar Express!!! (aka the Heber Creeper) The kids absolutely LOVED it. O has been so excited for weeks and C was hilarious when we went on the ride. It was really fun. Here's G and the kids waiting to get inside our coach, it was freeeeezing and I finally thawed out by the next morning.

Here's O with the lukewarm 'hot chocolate'

Talking to Santa and telling him what she wants

The kids with their bells. They loved shaking them the rest of the night. C lost his and we had to get another one.

A surprise visit from Mrs. Claus, the Elves were really cute and friendly!!

Here's C by the end of the ride, stretched out on the seat and window!!

Earlier in the day we made our annual trip to the Festival of Trees. We have been going ever since I was little. We had such a FUN time. O was so excited to see Santa and to go to the KIDS KORNER! We zipped through all the trees and the kids actually paid some attention to them. I wish I would have had my camera. Cher brought hers but when she got there her battery was dead so we only have our famous picture with the HOHOHO man. I love the FESTIVAL OF TREES!!
