I would go to Ogden’s Christmas Village as a little girl. I remember bundling up, driving in our big 15-passenger gray van, and nearly freezing as we walked from cottage to cottage. But then my mom would have hot cocoa and cookies or donuts for us to warm up.

Once Brandon and I moved to Farmington, we have visited a few times, but let’s just say it hasn’t always been the most pleasant experience.

Until this year. Everyone was happy. We all stayed warm. We didn’t have to fight lots of crowds and it was just a fun time!
