Collin's preschool class had a holiday sing-a-long in mid-December. And he had quite a cheering contingent with Grandma Libia and Lita, Grammy and Great Grandma B, Cas, Maya and me for their three song, two-minute performance.
Our happy Rudolph -
Cuddling up with Daddy -
I jumped in to the family picture with Collin's reindeer hat. He's gotten very into coloring lately and worked hard to create rainbow antlers. We laughed at his elf that he made in class - every other student had appendages in the correct location, but Picasso-Collin put his shoes coming out of his head, his legs out his arms, all in an effort to create a "silly elf."
The Sunday night before Christmas, we met my parents and kids at the zoo for Zoo Lights. We had bought and printed our tickets ahead of time, so when we saw the line with over 100 people, we laughed at the irresponsible folks who hadn't planned ahead . . . until we learned this was the line of pre-paid tickets! We followed the trail with the masses, oohing and aahing at the lights - Maya shouting "wow" - and took some photos along the way.
Maya constantly wanted to be with "mammy," so my mom carried her throughout the zoo while I pushed an empty stroller and Cas and my dad walked along empty-handed!
Cas and the kids by one of the stunning trees -
Maya did not want to leave these drums.
Luckily our next stop after the drums was the chimpanzee area filled with blinking lights and music where Maya stood in the middle, making all the visitors go around her, and danced her heart out.
Right before the exit, there was a choir singing Christian Christmas hymns and my 19-month-old booty danced / twerked to the worship songs!
