Our Primary activity last Saturday was the Polar Express. The Primary rented a trolley, super cute, painted red/blue with wooden seats. They gave each primary kid a ticket and told them where to catch the trolley. They invited all the parents to come along. I invited Amanda, but now that she's in Young Womens, there was no way she was getting up early on a Saturday to come!

They started with a story by Mrs. Claus. It was about Santa believing in Jesus and then each child wrote their name on a tag and wrote what gift they would give Jesus this year. Sydney didn't sit by the little kids on the rug.

She's getting too old.....but I was glad to have her sit by me!

You can see Spencer Harwood and Brandon on the right side....they listened so intently!

Then, into the gym for breakfast, which was the kid's choice of fruit loops, lucky charms, captain crunch...all they could eat! They couldn't believe it!

Brandon talking to Santa. Sydney wouldn't go talk to him. Since our Daddy was a Santa's helper for a lot of years, our kids know this isn't the real Santa....Sydney thought the activity was a little too young for her, but I'm glad she came. Great job, Primary leaders!

Mike was coming back from being with his Grandma after she passed away and being with his family. Our car had died on the freeway when he was on his way down to Salt Lake. Our great neighbors and new home teacher, Jim & Heidi Yerke, helped him tow the car to a repair shop later that morning. Jim's Grandma had also just passed and they were on the way to her funeral later that day. We were so greatful for the help!
