**THE POLAR EXPRESS**12/11/10

We were invited to go on the Polar Express this year with a bunch of family and friends. It was a lot of fun and I'm glad we was able to experience the Polar Express"!!

We started off the night with dinner at The Hub, a restaurant in Heber.

"cheese"

waiting to hear "ALL ABOARD"!

we all wore our pj's...Gage looked so cute in his Ho Ho pj's

on the way to the North Pole we read The night Before Christmas, sang songs and had hot cocoa and a chocolate cookie!

watching for Santa!

THERE HE IS....not a great picture, but I had to take it anyway!

Gage was in awe the whole time as he watched Ho Ho make his was toward us!

He was so excited!!

he very quietly said "I want Toy Story"

playing with his "top" that he got from Santa

and on the way back from the North Pole we played peek-a-boo with Cash, sang songs, and enjoyed the ride!!

OUR FIRST GINGERBREAD HOUSE 12/12/10

We were leaving Wal-Mart on Sunday and ran into this Gingerbread house kit. I have actually tried making one before from scratch and it was a mess!! So since this was all ready to assemble we thought we would give it a try.

Gage could not wait to open the candy and help out

GOOD JOB BOOG

he new right where to put the door knob

he really wanted the Ho Ho and managed to get it later and eat it

I think we done pretty good, the icing was melting but after a few minutes in the freezer is was fine! It smells so good, everytime I walk by it all I smell is gingerbread!

*OH CHRISTMAS TREE*

Our tradition is to put up the tree on Thanksgiving night. Of course it is fun every year but this year Gage was so excited, its all he talked about.

Such a big helper

oooh...awwwwe..
