Evan's Kindergarten Party

 
Evan's Kindergarten class had a Winter Party last Friday and Tom and I both got to go. The kids played some games and then were given some snacks and a gingerbread cookie to decorate with icing, sprinkles and candy. It's really interesting to view Evan in this environment, away from the daycare kids that he grew up with. He seems to be a lot more reserved and shy in Kindergarten but some of his wackiness came out at the party -- probably because he had both of his parents there. His teacher was very complimentary of him and he seems to be doing really well there and is learning so much!

The First Day of Winter

Saturday December 21st was the first official day of Winter, and Mother Nature gave us a crazy burst of Spring as a present. The boys were able to get outside and play and no coats, hats or gloves were required! I think the temperature got up to 69 at its warmest point and 72 the next day, and then appears to be dropping steadily each day since. So we celebrated the heck out of it while it lasted:
