Polar Express

So, its official, I stink at this blogging thing. I skipped Thanksgiving completely, and it is now February and I posted nothing about Christmas! It was an interesting week, full of broken cars and adventure. But by far, the best part of Christmas was our present from my Mom and Dad. Tickets to the Heber Valley Railroad's North Pole Express!! The boys have watched The Polar Express for the past two Christmas seasons, and it was just about the best surprise EVER. Turns out that because we went on Christmas Eve, we got the souvenir mugs, tickets, bells, AND snowflake ornaments! It was a wonderful ride. "Elves" brought around cookies and cocoa, a local high school choir sang carols, we told jokes and on the way back did the 12 Days of Christmas. The boys got to be the partridge!! They were thrilled to meet Santa even though he had to meet the train here instead of the North Pole. Not enough snow around here this winter! Joe was out like a light on the way home. Grandma and Grandpa made it the best Christmas EVER.
