Santa Brunch - and Christmas fun!

I took Ellie and JR to the Santa Brunch at SRCC with Dad, Emily, Brian, Luke and Ms. Molly. Nana happened to be traveling and Lauren went to a breakfast at Kristien Woods' house instead for R+F.

Ellie got to wear her new dress from Nana (it is super-cute and she was very excited to show Santa). JR was happy just to wear his desert boots and a sweater. I swear that kid has a mind of his own. 

Overall it was a blast. Bummer Lauren didn't come but it is what it is. 

Zoo Lights 2015

We brought JR and Ellie to Zoo Lights tonight. I think it might be JR's first visit to the zoo (unless he was super young). They had a blast!

Highlight was the house with all the Big Cats. There were two lions and JR roared at them before we left. And he help pointing out the leopard. 

Ellie loved it and wanted to ride the carousel. We will have to do that next time. 

Great way to get in the festive spirit!
