December Fun

We all had a lot of fun this December doing various things to celebrate Christmas. Here is a quick recap of the fun we had!

We began by decorating the tree and our house. (We actually did this in November, right before we left for Key West.) We had lots of fun decorating the tree this year, because Evan was really into putting the ornaments on. (I had to help rearrange the ornaments a bit since Evan tended to place them on on one or two branches, but he was REALLY excited to help this year and he helped for a long time.)


We went to Lights Under Louisville again this year, which Evan loved the first time through. (We got a second trip for free!) Unfortunately, on our second trip through we got stuck behind a car that stopped to take pictures of EVERYTHING. This wouldn't have been so bad, except poor Evan really had to use the bathroom! Oh well! At least the first trip through was fun!

"Look! A dinosaur!"



We also had fun eating breakfast with Santa. We were fortunate to to get to eat breakfast with Santa once with The Congletons and once at our church. Evan liked both breakfasts VERY much. Of course, the best part of both breakfasts wasn't Santa, but his friends! Evan had a ball playing with Levi at his first breakfast with Santa and with Leila at his second breakfast with Santa!

Evan and Leila had tons of fun playing together!



Evan had a Christmas party and program at his preschool. I was not able to go, but LOTS of people that love Evan were able to go, which made Evan happy. Grammy, Granddaddy, Bonnie Mom and Daddy all attended the party and the program. (I am looking forward to next year when I work part time and will get to attend lots of Evan's events!)

Evan enjoyed singing in his program. (He also liked the party afterwards!)


Evan and I took Parker to get his picture taken with Santa this year! It was a lot of fun and we got a pretty cute picture too!


This year we decided to try to train ride to the North Pole that was in New Haven, Kentucky. It was similar to The Polar Express, but not nearly as nice. We went with the Congleton family, which made the ride lots of fun. Evan and Levi really liked seeing Santa and riding the train.

Evan, Levi, Luke and David had fun while waiting to board the train to the North Pole!


Riding the train was lots of fun!


Even David had fun riding the train! (Evan got some practice holding a baby too!)
