Heber Traditions

We got in on a great new tradition this year - by sneaking in with Caleb's parent's Ward Christmas Breakfast:) They hold it every year at the famous 'Dairy Keen, Home of the Train' on Main Street, Heber.
It's a great little restaurant that the kids LOVE because of all the trains. There's an electric train that runs constantly all around through the inside and they love watching it go by.
If you want me to be honest, we've probably only been there... 5 times in the nearly 3 years that we've lived here - not big eater-outers.
But today we bundled up, braved the storm, and joined them!
They close off the store to regular customers, and cook a big pancake breakfast just for the ward! Is that the coolest thing? You gotta love small towns, I tell you what. You just jump in line and breakfast is served.
Caleb was thrilled to be there.
No really, he had a great time! He had to admit it! My cousin and his wife were there with their little gal, and we're friends with quite a few members of that ward, so it was a jolly good time!
These pancakes were delish. They had the works to top them with - butter, syrup, blackberries, strawberries, whip cream - YUM.
This Santa was the real Joe Shmoe too! He actually grew that beard himself!
Emmy jumped right up there, told him exactly what she wanted for Christmas, thanked him for her bag of stuff and was on her way! What a pro.
Jonah, on the other hand, was much too busy with the train sets to be bothered by such silliness.
All in all, a great way to start the day. Maybe we'll be here next year to do it again:)

Wow that looks so neat! I've actually been to that cute little place, it's adorable! And I must say their milk shakes are quite amazing.
