Movie and The Polar Express!

Early on in the month, we got to enjoy the movie "Frozen" for free, and ride the polar express all on the same day. A friend of mike's is a real estate agent and he along with several other agents host a free movie in December as their way to say thank you. This year we saw "Frozen". The kids had already seen it, my parents took them to see it over Thanksgiving weekend. They were more than happy to see it again though!  I absolutely loved the show. The music was wonderful, and I loved the message of the movie. Here are my kids enjoying a doughnut as we waited in line to have their faces painted. 

Santa was also there! 


The face painters they had there were definitely professionals. They did an amazing job on their faces. 




That afternoon, we went on the polar express in Heber City. We drove through one of the worst snow storms we have ever had. Luckily we left really early so we got there with plenty of time. Ivy made a friend at the train station and they took a selfie. This is my Ivy, she always makes friends very quickly. 


Mike's dad bought tickets for all of the kids and grandkids for Christmas this year. It was a great present, and so much fun! 











It was a long ride home in a lot of snow, but so much fun, and other than driving in it, the snow really added to the "North Pole" experience on the train when we got to see Santa Claus.

These photos were taken about a month ago. The snow is now all gone, Yeah! I tried to shovel a path through the snow so the kids could get to the playset to play. When Mason saw what I was doing, he immediatley took over shoveling. He shoveled for at least an hour, piling snow into the grey bucket. If the girls even tried to have a turn, he let them know it was his shovel. I'm sure he felt like he was a backhoe, moving dirt. That is his dream job.

Scotlyn's Birthday Party

Image
Scotlyn's birthday is this coming Thursday, but because her birthday always falls around General Conference time, we try to have her party the week before conference. She has been counting down the days until her party all week. It was a lot of fun, and was so nice to have her party outside this year. Every year on her birthday, the weather has been cold, until this year. This is a picture of her a couple of days ago, when she decided she was going to build a hot air balloon and fly to Salt Lake. She packed a change of clothes in her backpack and took food with her in the box. She also had a few toys with her, but when she was ready to fly, she realized that there was not room for her to sit in the box. She kept saying to me, "Mom, this is really going to work. I'm going to Salt Lake, I'll be back later". It was too cute. She never did make it to Salt Lake, but she didn't seem too disappointed that she didn't fly. I love how at this age, they lo...
