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.

     

 

Peacocks. They joined us for lunch.

Stormy’s cousin the jaguar.

 

Horse

Otters.

Baboons

Decorating for Christmas

   

 

The finished trees.

 

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

Eve

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.

Decorating our Annual Christmas Ornaments

Eve’s Baptism

Eve was baptized on Thanksgiving day. We couldn’t think of a more perfect time to baptize our newest blessing to be thankful for.
