Merry Christmas!

In our family, pretty much from October til the end of the year is very busy.  Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, parties, school break... We really like to do as much festive holiday fun as we can and this year was really great for it - not too cold.

We went to the Festival of Lights at the Zoo (and, a side note, the zoo membership is the best thing we buy ourselves each year.  As a family, we use that probably more than anything else.)  We also did Breakfast with Santa, which is a yearly tradition now and almost caused a catastrophe because Jackson forgot to turn in the RSVP thing at school... but it worked out in the end!  We went to Sharon Woods Holiday in Lights... so many fun things.  (Next winter, I want to take the boys to Fountain Square.  I chose not to this year because pregnant Mommas should not ice skate!  I wonder if we will be able to convince Granny to babysit the new baby while we have big kid time??)

We made gingerbread houses (which was not my idea of fun, and it also was not my idea and also was not fun for me!)  The boys had a blast though and that's what really matters.

   



On the Christmas lists this year, from Jackson, a remote control helicopter, an Ultimate FX Lightsaber, legos... you know, the usual.  On Parker's list?  A big brown bear, more hot wheels and an up and down thing.  And, yes, we're the best parents ever because we got all of it!!
