Christmas Tree Farm

Cutting down her own Christmas tree has been on Alysha's list for a few years. So we found a farm, and helped her out. Evan was a little excited to get started, can you tell? He came prepared!





Timber!
Found it! Just kidding:)

Here it is! Doesn't it look silver?


It was a little harder than we thought it would be.


















Thanksgiving

We fit twenty something people into Alysha's house for Thanksgiving this year, and it didn't feel crowded once. It was so fabulous to have so many of the people we love in one room. I hope we can get even more together next year! No, we did not coordinate our outfits ahead of time!
Evan was the entertainment after dinner. He set up his train and gave rides for a good half hour.

I love spray tans!

First Kings Game

Titi took us to Evan's first Kings game. He loved the arena and the halftime show. Not so into the game, and definitely not into Slamson...at first.
Do you want to take a picture with him? NO!

Big Silly Boy

Evan is growing up so fast. One of the things I enjoy the most, is how much he can play and interact with the rest of the family now. He doesn't take hours to warm up to them, he jumps right in. Uncle Skeeter, Drama, and a very tired Evan
Firefighters, Evan and Shadow


His first official fort!

Oops, out of order a little:)
Our friend Kevin was in town for 6 weeks. It was so nice for him to really get to know Evan.

He was initiated right away with a jam session.
And a parade!
First time using play dough.

Learning, learning, learning...
Fell down at the bus stop

Silly, silly boy!


Monster Truck! After hearing what he watched while in the hospital, grandma surprised him with his very own.


Evan putting on a show for all of his friends. I was not invited.


One of the few things he will actually consume these days.



Zumba!

Halloween

Evan went back and forth on what he wanted to be for Halloween. As a result, he changed costumes three times before we headed to Boo at the Zoo. He had his heart set on all of us being UPS workers, but he decided it was a little too big on him in the end.
So, we tried on the logger outfit. As soon as I got the hat on, he no longer wanted to be a logger.
It was cute though:)
We tried on a pirate costume like mine, but as soon as I put the headwrap on, it was a no go. So, he went as a skier.
Titi was a can-can dancer.
Boo at the Zoo was okay, very cold. We didn't like standing in line to trick-or-treat, so we took him to some houses in the zoo neighborhood too.
His first time:)
He got the hang of it pretty quickly!
Chocolate!
