The Polar Express

Last night we rode the Polar Express (aka, the Heber Creeper) with the Morzelewskis. For those of you who have never experienced this, I would say it was worth the drive to Heber but only because it was great for the kids! (Don't go if you don't go with kids). The train goes about ten miles an hour, which was fast enough to make it about half-way across Deer Creek Resevoir, then you turn around and come back. We were going to put Kaden in his Christmas p.j.s but once we got up there it was soooo cold outside, and fairly cold inside the train I didn't dare change him. It was a great time with the family and the kid's had a lot of fun, I am sure we will do it again next year!
Josh, Dan, and Dan's girlfriend Amber with the boys (Kaden, Alex and Braxton)
They served cookies and hot chocolate to everyone......

They read the story of the Polar Express and Mrs. Claus visited the kids....

They told some really bad jokes.....

Once we got to the "North Pole" (I think it was a house with Christmas lights on it)
Santa was standing outside waving to the kids....

The Conductor came around and punched the kids tickets....

And Santa visited! He even knew all the kids names! (nametags)
Kaden is terrified of Santa if you can't tell from the picture.

Santa gave each of the kids a silver bell to take home.
You will need to read the story or watch the movie before you
go :)

That picture of Kaden and Santa is pretty funny! I'm sure he is going to change his mind about Santa come Christmas morning! Heather, you look beautiful as always, I can't wait to see your little girl! Love ya!

Kaden is so cute! We will have to do this next year with our friends. It looks like so much FUN.
