Mark took off work Friday, so he got to help make Santa's cookies. Can you tell which ones Mark and Jackson did? Let's just say Mark put his creative touch on the couple of cookies he iced, and Jackson just had fun mixing colors.
We then headed to the 3:00 family service at our church. Jackson got to participate as a "Preschool Ringer" and play the handbells on stage. I have no idea what song they played, but he did great. He would barely look at me because he was watching the teacher and looking for his color green. Emmy, you would have been so proud of him!
Next it was off to eat an early dinner at SweetWater Tavern - yummo! We then bundled up and headed downtown to see the National Christmas tree in all its blue and green glory.
It was sooooo cold but Jackson could not get enough of all the trains.
There were several new trains and bridges, and it made the little guy so happy!
We finally convinced him that it was time to go home and get ready for Santa. We picked out the cookies and poured the milk,
sprinkled the reindeer food in the front yard,
and then finally off to bed. I am not sure how he ever fell asleep he was so excited!
Stay tuned to see what Santa actually brought . . .

You all sure had a busy evening. Best little bell ringer up there, I can just tell. Talk about a lucky Santa and his reindeer. I think the DC tree was beautiful. It sure looked cold though. Love you all, DeeDee
I sure wish I could have seen Jackson play the hand bells! I was hopingo see a video. He definitely loves music. Love Emmy
