Decorating the Christmas Tree

Evan has been so exited about Christmas this year. He has been waiting all week to put the "jingle bells"(sparkly glass balls) on our Christmas tree.
















This was our first year having Evan decorate the tree with us. He was very good about making sure that all the ornaments we owned made it on to the tree.
We had a lot of fun decorating the tree as a family and we only broke one glass "jingle bell" in the process.








After we decorated the tree, we made yummy Christmas gingerbread cookies with daddy.

Evan was in charge of making sure they had lots of sprinkles and red hots.

A Visit to the Fire House

For playgroup this week we went to the McLean Fire House to see real firemen and real fire trucks. Evan and I had a lot of fun. They gave all the kids little fire hats and let them climb all over the fire engines.

Evan thought that ringing the bell on the old 70's engine was great fun.
