Happy Holidays!

The holidays are definitely a crazy time of year. There is so much going on that you hardly have time to stop and take it all in. This past week is no exception. Friday night we went with Christians family to Zoo lights. It was so cold with the storm coming in but we bundled the kids up nice and warm and had a blast. I wasn't sure it would be worth it but the zoo actually did a really good job. Some of the light scenes were really incredible. Sweet Aunt Shannon bought each kid a light toy that they carried through with them. They were all so excited and not one of us thought to take a picture! Today we woke up to a blizzard! It was the Angel Hands Christmas party so we braved the roads. This is an incredible group that has welcomed Zach in. Its actually a group for children with rare diseases but they have luckily let us be among those. They took us to Hollywood Connection (there are little rides, roller skating, mini golf, laser tag, and an arcade) and gave a a card for all the rides and attractions we wanted. They also provided lunch and had Santa come for the kids. At the end they gave everyone a pass to the connecting Ritz 15 theater so the kids and I went and saw Delgo. Zach really liked the movie, Josh was more interested in the treats. A very busy but fun time.
Tonight was our annual night of gingerbread house decorating with my family. We always get together and have dinner first and then get set on the decorating. Zach was more into un-decorating out house and shoving the candy in his mouth as fast as he could. Josh ended up doing most of the work and decorating a cookie for himself. All in all, it was a lot of fun. Its always fun to get together with family and find out what everyone else has been up to.

How fun!! I saw the sign for the Zoo and wondered if it was fun. Glad to hear it's worth it...maybe we will try and get there. Are you guys going to BOLT on Saturday? Maybe we will see you there! If not have a GREAT Christmas!

YAY! It was so much fun at the zoo! And Wahoo for Angel Hands! I wanted to be there so bad-but I was in Layton being worked on...(Haircut) I am so excited for next Sunday! Did you get jammies for Kenna too- or should I go out and get some?
