Lights at the Zoo and Gingerbread Sleighs

On December 11th, we went to the zoo to see the Christmas lights. It was FREEZING! But we had a great time. :)


Little Charlotte was snuggled deep and cozy in her carrier in the stroller.  Just her little face and pink nose was exposed to the cold. :)

This is one of the baby tiger cubs that we visited last January. My, how he's grown! :)
 

 
On our way out, we stopped off at the indoor heated polar bear exhibit so I could feed Charlotte. It was perfect timing because it thawed us all out and gave the kids that extra boost for the last leg of our journey: getting to the car!  :)


 Of course we couldn't go through a Christmas season without making our Gingerbread Sleighs!
 Here is the Master himself, hard at work.

This was Eliza's first year getting a real sleigh to decorate and give away. :)

Sammy got to decorate some gingerbread men, and he did a great job!
 
Of course we gotta have our wart picture! Good thing Ben reminded us about it! 

Charlotte must be represented! She always gives us happy company!
