We had the HopeKids Christmas party to attend today, but I wish we could have had a few more days to recover. Fortunately it was really warm today. All Trevor could talk about all day was going to the party and playing in the snow.

We got there in time to watch the big trucks making all of the snow

Then Santa pulled up on his AZ style sleigh

Poor Brendan was so tired. He has been feverish on and off today and coughing so much.

We rode the little “train” around the parking lot

Then we had to get back to check the progress of the snow

Then Trevor got “the hammer”. (We ended up playing “Hammer Game” all night all the way up until bedtime. Hammer game is bopping each other and fencing until you can knock the hammer out of the other’s hands and yell “disarmed!!”)

They hammered all over the fire truck to “fix it”.

Not in a fixing mood

Back to the snow. Once they stopped spraying and all the kids got in the pile, it got really rowdy.

Time for a cupcake

The little train rolling around in the background

Oops, sat in the snow. Not thrilled.

Trevor got to spray the real fire hose. He needed them to spray the blue frosting off of his face!

After we got home and tried to make some dinner, Brendan’s fever reached 102. I really hope he gets some good rest tonight.

Oh, and I almost forgot yesterday’s meeting of the pre-school teacher was very frustrating. I won’t judge after the first day, but I was expecting something totally different. I hope that Brendan will benefit and this won’t be a total waste of our time and something else to stress about scheduling.
