Fire Trucks and Gingerbread Wars

This is post #2 for the day, Mom, so I don't want to hear anything else for a little while about me not updating :)

One of the first nights we were in town some family friends had invited us to go caroling while riding on their vintage fire truck. Thank you Jeff & Zan!

Even though it was so cold, Fisher loved it! He played on it for a while before everyone else arrived and then convinced us to go caroling to a few houses because we couldn't bring ourselves to take him home since he was having so much fun.

We all piled into the back until the truck would pull up in front of a house with the lights and siren going. Fisher was smiling and laughing like crazy while we drove along and loved it when everyone started singing. All in all it was a very fun evening and not something you experience every day.

Todd and my Dad took fisher out for a little sledding.

The next section is mostly for Seve & Katrina who requested pics...
The beginning of the battle of the gingerbread wars. I don't think that is where the frosting was supposed to go Roberto!

Mom and Dad took the challenge quite seriously. Mom was in charge of the trees & landscape.

Ken whistling while he works. (Alicia...someone you managed to work your way out of almost all my pictures...sorry about that!)

Todd and I hate looking at pictures of ourselves these days but this is motivation to lose the weight, right? I figured I should document that we were on this trip.

Every one's houses looked fantastic. Ken & Alicia had one of my favorite features...the cemetery. So detailed.

And then there was ours :) The candy by the house was all the junk in our yard...

It was a fun time for everyone. Abby and Fisher woke up at the very end of the decorating and had a fun time eating all of the candy.
