Spencer got a little people helicopter.

Our traditional Polar Express

Taylor joined us this year as we made the Front Runner into the Polar Express.  We had Hot Chocolate and cookies, read the Polar Express Book and sang a few songs.

 The highlight is meeting Santa and getting our bells to show we "believe."

Ogden Christmas Villages

 Ogden City has a great display of Christmas Villages.  I am sure it is delightful in the evening, but we have always visited in the daylight. We went with the Curtin's and they showed us a part that we have always missed.  It made the trip that much better! 

Spencer was with us also, but I didn't catch any pictures of him in the stroller.
