"All Aboard!" The North Pole Express

The last time I took this train ride was when Nicholas was 5and I was a single mom. Yep, that's 14 years ago.  I have been wanting to take Ella and Aidan on it but it is pricey. This year I saved for it and we did it. I have to admit I had lots of fun. What is not to like with a train ride overlooking beautiful Heber Valley, drinking hot cocoa, eating chocolate chip cookies, singing lots of Christmas carols and of course, the best, seeing the big smiles on your kids' faces the whole time.  I'm glad we did it. 

Photos were taken with my IPhone, hence the blurriness and quality.




 Cheese, anyone?


And yes, Santa!  He wasn't the greatest looking Santa. We just tell the kids Santa has lots of "helpers."

Playing Opposites

I have been discussing opposites with the kids lately. Today (Oct. 1 ) we were doing an opposites puzzle and Aidan was doing amazingly well (turned 3, 3 months ago). There was a picture of fire with the word "hot." Here's the conversation: Me - What's the opposite of hot? Aidan - warm. Me - Well, not quite. Okay, fire is hot. What is ice? Aidan - slippery! LOL :)

Aidan - "See, I can do opposites with my toes!" ??
