Over the weekend we went out and picked out our Christmas tree. Evan enjoyed looking at all the trees and of course talking to all the people that were around us. We picked out the tree and upon paying for it Evan enjoyed one of the employee candy canes. Luckily for us, the cashier was in the Christmas spirt so Evan did not get yelled at.
When we got home and started decorating, Evan got quite excited and even helped put on some of the ornaments. He ended up putting them all in one area, some on the same branch, but since he wanted to help, they are on as he wanted. All in all, Evan absolutely loves decorations and loves to point them out wherever we go. He especially likes going to stores like Target where they have tons of decorations hanging down from the ceiling. As soon as we walk in – his face lights up.
While getting the tree ready in the garage, Evan decided he wanted to play out in the snow. He did not have any snow pants on so I was surprised how long he stayed out there, but he had a blast playing first with all his trucks in the snow, then building a “castle” with all his sidewalk chalk. Evan and I have also been enjoying the snow together as I discovered we have a common interest: throwing snowballs. As soon as we go outside he gets a snowball together and throws it at me and then I throw one at him. I look forward to next year when we can build forts together and have a real snowball war!
