Snow and Glow

We went to the City of Scottsdale’s Snow and Glow. They had lots of booths where the kids could make crafts and decorate cookies. At the end they lit the City’s Christmas tree.

Zoo

It was a chilly day and it wasn’t very busy at the zoo. The kids and I (Mandy) had a great time hanging out at the zoo.

These cool glasses make the tree lights look like Bethlehem stars.

What do you do with a bathtub that is not in the bathroom?

First you let the cat check it out.

Then you let the kids play in it.

Then you let the kids and the cat play with the box. Which Paul later laid in and popped up out of and surprised us all.
