Our Decorating is Done

The kids decorated their Christmas trees tonight. Eva did hers on her own with some help from Allison. I helped Andrew with his. He would hold an ornament and then hand it to me and point and say, “there go!” He was proud of his work. Andrew’s tree is a bit light on actual ornaments of significance. He has a bunch of indestructible glass-like balls on the tree and a few Hallmark ones that he’d gotten so far. We get each kid a new Hallmark ornament each year to add to their trees. This year Eva got Rapunzel and Andrew got Charlie Brown with the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree.

Eva announced to us that she no longer likes Toy Story. I don’t know why she no longer likes it. Getting explanations of things is like pulling teeth with her lately. I hope that she won’t be too disappointed with the Toy Story play set for Disney Infinity come Christmas morning. Because that is one of the things she’s getting, plus Woody. I know that she wants Rapunzel and Vanellope but she’ll get those once they are no longer exclusives and I can order them through the Disney Store. (Disney Credit Card points).

Today was Eva’s Kindergarten Christmas Play. She was the angel and had two lines in the play. She did an excellent job in her role. Watching her up there confidently delivering her lines and smiling as she sang Christmas songs made me so proud to be her Dad. She practiced her lines every chance she got and she had them down cold.We were joined at the play by Grandfather and Mem, Auntie Tara and Shelby (cousin Dylan), Uncle Mike and my Grandparents.

After the play we visited a bit at my parent’s house. Andrew had a fun time, as usual. He received a set of mini books from his Great-Grandparents. He had fun lining them up and telling me what animals were on the covers. Continue reading Kindergarten Christmas Play 2013
