The Polar Express


After we got home from our magical Disney vacation, the Christmas season was in full swing. I had a long standing Christmas wish of wanting to ride the Polar Express in Heber, I had wanted to go for years and I finally made it this year!


I went with the Madisons and we all showed up in warm, cozy Christmas pajamas





The inside of the train was all decorated for Christmas and was so adorable.




For the first part of our ride, we got to watch the most beautiful sunset as we flew past the wide open fields of Heber.






We were served chocolate chip cookies and hot chocolate!









The Christmas elves aboard the Polar Express, lead us in several fun Christmas carols doing our ride.


Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer!




Towards the end of our ride to the North Pole, V caught sight of a very special guest! This was her real reaction ... 


Santa Clause!!!!!!


He gave each of us a very special, silver bell as a way to remember our ride aboard the Polar Express. V was so excited.



After our ride to the North Pole and back, we were given these adorable gift bags as we disembarked the train.


Inside was a cute mug and a candy cane!


As we were standing on the platform, getting ready to walk to our car, we saw a passenger who looked vaguely familiar disembark the train ...


We thought it would be fun to grab dinner up in Heber, so we looked on yelp and found Back 40. We were all surprised we hadn't ever heard of this fun restaurant since we have spent a lot of time in Heber over the years. But I'm glad we finally found it since it has good food and a really fun atmosphere.


We were lucky enough to be seated in the yurt.



What a fun night! I loved every minute of it!
