This was our first Christmas with Emily. She just was just shy of 2 months at Christmas time. There are so many activities that we do during December to lead up to Christmas. It all adds to the experience.
*Polar Express - The extended Pace family went on the Polar Express this year for our Christmas Party. We drove up to Flagstaff and had dinner as a family. We then drove to Williams to the Train Depot. The Depot was all decked out and it looked so festive. We boarded the train and enjoyed the trip. We visited with each other, ate cookies, and sipped hot cocoa on the way to the North Pole. Grandma Pace held Emily almost the whole way up to the North Pole As we approached Santa's village, we could see more festive lights. We picked up Santa at the North Pole and he visited with each kid and gave them a bell. It was such a fun trip!

* At the Ward Christmas Party, we had pics taken with Santa. My kids were so well behaved, that Santa, Mrs. Clause, and 2 of their elves came to visit my kids at home. What a treat for my kids to have Santa visit them twice before Christmas.

* On Christmas Eve, we had dinner at Jon and Mindy's house and enjoyed time visiting with each other. That night, we came home and the kids received their traditional pjsPJs and slippers. Hopefully, that will help that fall asleep fast so Santa can come to visit them.
