The Polar Express!!!

This year with my family we chose to make memories rather than exchange gifts! We went to the North Pole (Deer Creek) via Polar Express (Heber Creeper). It was SO much fun! 8 adults, 4 teenagers, 3 "big" boys, and 4 little boys (under 3). The train was old and rickety, but I think the experience itself was priceless!

Sean and his cute little girlfriend, Jessica...holding the "cheesy" Tyler.

Matt and JJ just getting ready to sing Christmas carols! What a riot.

Kyle and cousin Jessi, obviously having a blast!

Aunt Becca, Uncle Steve and Tanner....waiting for Santa!

After the train ride we came hom, ate dinner, decorated cookies for Santa and just played let the kids play with their cousins.

I think this will become a new family tradition, whether we ride the train, go sledding, watch a movie or whatever....spending the time together and building the memories that last forever was SO much fun.
