Breakfast with Santa, Snow Day and a trip to the North Pole

Nothing beats Donuts and hot chocolate for breakfast topped off with a visit from the jolly old elf himself.

Many of the surrounding cities have a Saturday "snow day" in the month of December. After breakfast with Santa we went straight to the park and were lucky to be some of the first there. The children had a blast sledding, jumping in the many bounce houses, making holiday necklaces, writing letters to Santa, riding the train, throwing snow balls and playing games. If we can't have a white Christmas we'll take the next best thing.





Our city puts on a Polar Express train ride every year. This is our 3rd year going and it never disappoints. So after being warn out from playing in the snow we went home for lunch to refuel and then went to get our tickets for the Polar express. After riding the train to the North Pole we got to decorate cookies, color pictures, and eat more sugar! Of course Santa was there and gave out jingle bells to all the children that sat on his lap... I don't know how he does it all :o)



This was a great start to our Christmas celebration. We had a great time and the best part is that it's all FREE!!

We are so excited for this holiday season and the joy and excitement it brings. As enjoyable as all the Christmas activities are, we are the most excited about celebrating the birth our our Savior Jesus Christ. It is because of His birth and mortal ministry that we are so richly blessed with the knowledge of His gospel here on earth.

We wish all we love a very Merry Christmas and a happy new year!!
