Christmas!!

 A letter to Wyatt from Santa and the cookies and carrots that Santa and the reindeer enjoyed.
 Wyatt on his new scooter that he got from Santa.  That is what he asked for this year.

This Christmas was very busy and wonderful.  We had family parties that we attended which were very fun.  Unfortunately Doug ended up with the flu Christmas Eve and Christmas day so he didn't really get to enjoy the holiday much.  Luckily he is feeling better now.  This year we thought was going to be tough because Doug has been unemployed for a while now but we were blessed and humbled by service that was provided to us from friends and family.  It was overwhelming but needed at the same time.  We were able to have a very nice Christmas this year.  Thank you to everyone who made it possible.

Snow Day!!



 
 
Wyatt and I went outside one day to play in the snow.  We built a good sized snowman and a mini snowman on our deck.  Wyatt also made a few snow angels while he was out.  It was fun to get out while we did have some decent snow to use.

North Pole Express!!










 
 
This year we decided to go on the North Pole Express up in Heber City.  It was so much fun!!  We went on the first class car of the train.  It was really neat.  They had a red carpet to get on the train and had elves waiting at the beginning as well.  We got our own hot chocolate mug, a special boarding ticket, were served hot chocolate with whipping cream, had a chocolate chip cookie, had a visit from Mrs. Claus (she gave everyone Santa's favorite cookie recipe), we sang Christmas carols, and went by the North Pole Village where we picked up Santa.  Santa visited with all of the kids and gave them a special bell.  Wyatt has loved his bell.  It was a really neat ride.  We also had a few extra visitors toward the end of the ride.  We had the Grizzles, Real Salt Lake, and a few other teams mascots come in and say hi.  That was a surprise.  We all had a wonderful time!!
