Zoolights!

  We had so much fun at the Santa Claus Breakfast and just wanted to keep the holiday spirit going, so we decided to go to Zoolights that evening, even though it was only about 30 degrees out!  Kirk, Dustin and I picked up Matt, Kelly and Caleb in the van and we headed for Tacoma, with Taylor Swift singing us Christmas carols from her CD.  We weren't the only ones who thought Zoolights on a frosty Saturday night would be fun, and it was quite crowded.  But we parked and began the process of bundling up and getting Caleb situated in the Moby wrap, complete with hat and mittens.  He looked so cute! 
   The lights were pretty, as always, and really kept us in the Christmas mood.  We must have done a good job of bundling up, because in spite of the freezing temperature, no one complained of being cold.  Even Caleb was quite content being worn by Kelly, and they kept each other warm.  After we had seen all there was to see, we headed for KFC for dinner.  We detoured through Sky Island on the way to Matt and Kelly's to look at all the beautifully decorated houses, then dropped them off and headed home.  It was a perfect day!  Fun with family is always the best!

Updating

  So I added this new background to my blog and, woohoo, it worked!  Unfortunately some of my last post disappeared.  Dang it!  I don't have a clue how to fix it, so guess it will just have to remain MIA.  It seems like I get so far behind, then I don't know where to start, so I just keep putting it off and get farther behind.  So I will just jump in with the Santa Claus Breakfast on December 12th.  It was so much fun to take three grandsons, after all the years I took my kids to the same breakfast.  Santa came around, and Caleb and Keegan were okay with that, but Cooper was not too fond of Santa this year.  He was willing to let Santa stand behind him, but when we tried to get him on Santa's lap, well, he was having none of that!
   We had a nice pancake breakfast with Grandma DeDe and Grandpa Al, who have been coming with us for many years.  Shauna brought Cooper and Keegan, and Matt and Kelly brought Caleb, and Kirk and I were there, of course.  We took up almost a whole table, all but two chairs.  I think everyone had a great time, and it really put me in the Christmas spirit! A great way to kick off the holidays!
