On Monday of last week we enjoyed a fun evening with friends at the Sammamish City Hall Tree Lighting event. It started with a performance by a local elementary school choir. Needless to say our two and three-year-olds didn't really care much about the performance! So, we headed out to the Gingerbread House-making station where Eli and Sierra had a blast decorating their houses (which, incidentally, were actually milk cartons with graham crackers glued onto them). Eli had never done this before and was really into the project; Sierra, who's a pro, opted to eat icing straight out of the container instead of wasting it on her house! :) 
I just love the concentration on his face in this photo...
I just love the concentration on his face in this photo...The highlight of the evening for Eli came after the houses were done...a well-decorated firetruck arrived, and the firefighters let the kids explore inside. 
Needless to say, this made Eli's day (week, month...). He sat in every seat, most notably the driver's seat. It took some serious coaxing to get him out from behind that big steering wheel! 
They had the firetruck well-decorated, complete with tons of lights and Rudolph and Santa's sleigh on top. It was a really fun night! (Thanks, Lena!)
