Good-bye christmas

Last night was the final farewell to christmas in our community. It was the annual christmas tree burning. They collect all the trees from the neighborhood and pile them up, then the fire department lights a torch to them! It's a nice community thing. They have hot dogs, hot chocolate, popcorn, and cookies.
Tom and Jordan enjoying their free cookies and cocoa......
Here's our trusty fireman starting the blaze.......

Gettin' cold.......time to go. But not before Jordan threw a few snowballs at the fire. He started a trend. Some high schoolers were standing near us and they saw him throw it and then started taking bets as to who could reach the fire with a snowball. It was pretty funny. Like "hey that little kid didn't get in trouble let's give it a try".
We took Jordan to Red Robin first. It's a gourmet burger place. Tom got a gift certificate from a customer for christmas. We discovered that a burger is still just a burger no matter how it's made! Cody went to an overnighter at church.
