Well, we decided to suprise the boys and go on a little Christmas trip. We didn't tell them until the afternoon we left, where we were going and they were just dying to know. We went to Salt Lake to see the lights on Temple Square - they loved that. When we got to the hotel, the boys were all ready for bed and Logan was just sitting there and then said, "OK, I go home now." It took a little convincing but he finally decided that it was OK to sleep in the hotel room rather than in his bed at home.
The next morning we went to the Childrens Museum at the Gateway Mall - the Discovery Center. The boys had sooooo much FUN! We were there for 3 1/2 hours and I think they could of stayed even longer but we were all getting hungry.
Then we went to Heber City to ride on the Polar Express (aka: the Heber Creeper) to the North Pole! The boys were so excited. On the way through Park City it started to snow a little and it just added to the moment. They even wore their pajamas on the train. When we got to the train station we could see them loading the hot chocolate and cookies onto the train. We boarded and the train took off - well, I should say, crept along at a steady pace of 10 mph. The boys loved it though - they had hot chocolate, chocolate chip cookies, sang Christmas Carols, read the story of the Polar Express, got a recipe from Mrs. Claus, talked to the elves about what they wanted for Christmas and then on the way back to the station Santa Claus came on our train car and gave each of the children a silver bell. The boys had so much fun!
