Merry Christmas From the Evans

Brayden's 1st Dentist Appt.

Brayden had his 1st dentist appt. on Monday. He wasn't too sure about it, but did fine. We had Macie go 1st & she did great. She has her top 2 molars coming in & then she will have all of her teeth. Brayden has none of his molars, but I kind of assumed that since he is not 2 yet.

Snowmobile

As soon as the snow melted last time Macie told dad "oh man we forgot to get the snowmobile out". So as soon as it snowed this time she was all over dad. This is actually Kalley/Taylor's snowmobile but since they have outgrown it Dan is letting Macie & Brayden borrow it. The kid loved it! Brayden's turn

Sleigh Ride & Mr. & Mrs. Clause

Last Saturday in Nicollet they did the 1st ever "Hometown Holiday" they had sleigh rides, face painting, cooking frosting, holiday project, story time with Mr. & Mrs. Clause & off course your chance to sit on Santa's lap & tell him what you wanted for Christmas. Our family and Taylor went out they for a while & we really enjoyed it. The sleigh ride got a little chilly (it was 25 minutes), but it was snowing & so beautiful!

*Taylor isn't in any of our pictures because auntie Sara & uncle Kent "aren't cool".... so she hung out with her friends :)

Disney Live

On Sunday, November we took the kids to Disney live @ the Verizon center in Mankato. I ordered the tickets back in June or July so I was able to get front row :)
The kids LOVED IT! We weren't too sure how Brayden would do, but the picture below was pretty much how he looked through out the whole show. Macie really enjoyed it, except for she DID NOT like the witch from Snow White :(

Holiday Parade

Macie & I did the Holiday parade in New Ulm this year the day after Thanksgiving. It was actually nice out (still needed winter coats, but last year it was FREEEEZING). The daycare center had a float in, so we rode along. Brayden & dad hung out at home, dad & I thought Brayden would get bored - maybe next year for him.

Halloween 2011

Wow I can't believe I didn't even post pictures from Halloween. Sorry these are a little late! The kids had a good time getting candy.... We didn't do the whole house to house thing. We always meet @ grandma & grandpa Hewitt's so the cousin's can all see each other & then everyone is off to do their own thing. We go to babysitter Katie's, a couple other houses & then into Mankato to see grandma & grandpa Evans. This year we made a couple extra stops in Mankato at some of our friends & headed for home.

Evans Family-Fall 2011

Macie turns 3

Our baby girl turned 3 yesterday! I can not believe where the time has went. She is such a good little girl! She is in the preschool room at daycare & thinks it's pretty neat to go on field trips & ride the "big bus". She is still doing dance class & really enjoys that. She is a very good big sister, always helping with Brayden!
We celebrated her birthday already back in September because we rented a bounce house & wanted to do it while it was still warm out. Yesterday we told her she could decide what we did & she wanted to go eat & the place where you throw money in the water (aka - Mexican Village). She was a lucky girl... she got grandma & grandpa Evans and grandma & grandpa Hewitt to join her as well!
Happy 3rd Birthday Macie! Mommy & Daddy love you very much!
