PHOTO OF THE DAY: SMILES WITH SANTA

The children of Box Elder couple Katie Vissers and Donald Morgan — in town to celebrate Thanksgiving with Vissers’ family — pose for a photo with Santa and Mrs. Claus on the stage of the Freeman Community Center at Hometown Christmas early Saturday afternoon, Nov. 30. Pictured with the jolly duo are, from left: Isabella Merrill, Sophia Vissers (seated), Leighla Westhoff and Emalaya Westhoff. Playing the part of Santa and Mrs. Claus were Bubbles and David Mensch. Hometown Christmas also featured the Mistletoe Market (a vendor fair) and meal served by Growing Dreams Learning Center as a fundraiser for ongoing operational expenses. PHOTO BY JEREMY WALTNER
