We have been busy the entire holiday season, it seems, and despite being asked repeatedly if we could make a gingerbread house, it just hasn't happened. Thankfully, Amelia was able to make a small one at school and she asked me to please take pictures of it and post them on the blog. So here they are.
Also despite repeated attempts to go and see Zoo Lights early in December or even into mid-December, or at the very least, before everyone was out of school, that didn't happen either. Just too much homework and too many other activities/lessons to work around. We finally made it to the zoo the night of the 22nd with all the rest of the Salt Lake Valley. It was freezing! The lights were really cool and everyone had a great time despite the crowds and the need to duck into every available building to warm up a little bit. But this was the only photo we took:
This was at the very end as we were leaving. It was just too cold to take my hands out of my gloves and take pictures during the event. It was more important to keep everyone moving. So the little girls were about done at this point and not too happy about having to stand there for a picture, but at least I have proof that we were there. I think it's something we will do again (especially since Peter thinks that going to the zoo is about the best thing there is to do,) but hopefully we'll get there a little earlier in the month and avoid the crowds - and if we're lucky end up with warmer temperatures, too.
