Um yeah I thought I would celebrate our 1 month Christmas Sobriety with a photo dump since I totally misplaced our camera after the big basement move and JUST found it. So without further adieux…
Christmas with my parents:
We usually get together on Christmas eve and eat and open gifts with my parents and my sister and her family. It is wonderful and we had a great time!

Zoo Lights!
This annual tradition was almost lost with my sister, dad and hubby all working insane holiday hours. I had 2 free tickets to the zoo lights and since Eyan is 2 he is free anyway! So my mom and I decided to just pack us up and head to the zoo lights. I tried to take better pictures of all the lights, but my camera was having serious issues in the cold and so the best I got are below.
