The Christmas Bus

The Christmas Bus is anticipated more than Christmas around these parts! This year was made extra special because Mel came with Landon, Parker and Henry! They were only here for 24 hours so we had to make every minute last. So we started the day off with breakfast and grandpa made pancakes bigger than the kids heads and it was utter chaos. It was awesome. We also had Grandma Great, Aunt Lisa and Uncle Dave joins us which was the cherry on top! We loved that we got to share this tradition with them!
After breakfast and chaos was done, we headed to the care center to put on a Christmas show for the people there. Always one of the highlights. Then we went back to grandma and grandpa's for some fun games and pizza before we boarded the bus for Temple Square! The lights were awesome as usual, but the kids were super excited to see the Light the World vending machines that they've been obsessed with since seeing them on the Light the World movie. Then it was back home while listening to the Polar Express and drinking hot chocolate and eating cookies. It's the coolest.

Utter Chaos:

 Sam's dreams came true - he played football, in the snow with Landon!!! So happy!

 Savannah won't smile unless you're her mom, but I try.

 Hooray for family!

 Megan showed everyone her mad ballet skills

 Henry is soooo cute.

 If you squint, you can see Linz sitting next to Mel:

 Once there was a snowman:
