the polar express

T H E  P O L A R  E X P R E S S

bry and i were so excited to check off one of our dates from our "12 dates of christmas" list. 

if you have kids or nieces/nephews, this needs to be on your to-do list this year or next!

this was a night full of magic, and so fun to experience with my family.

not only do you learn about some of the history of the heber valley railroad... you sing christmas songs, dance in the aisles, elves deliver hot cocoa + cookies from Mrs. Claus, Santa pays a visit to each train car, and you each get a christmas bell before getting off.

i think when i'm 90 and have grandkids running around my backyard, i need to find myself an old train car for them to play in, and for me to decorate. i was obsessed with this old thing.

^^honestly, how magical is that train car with its twinkle lights!?

^ we all ate at dairy keen in heber before the train ride, and all the kids meals came with conductor hats. how fitting, right!?

^this cute little thing hung on to me all night. love my ruby. 

 ^ everyone loves grandma b!

 ^ time for kisses under the mistletoe, of course ;)

^the kids were so excited to see santa!

 ^ well.... most of them. :)
