Christmas at the Zoo!

Always one of our most favorite Christmas activities, our annual visit to the event didn't disappoint!  It was lovely, fun and fairly warm (read: this pregnant chick walked most of the zoo sans coat and endured several stares and even a gasp or two at the sheer size of THE BELLY and the fact it wasn't hidden behind a coat.  I was HOT). 
McKinley enjoyed decorating a cookie, visiting Santa, sharing a treat with his parents and, no surprise, the beautiful nighttime train ride through the zoo.  So many beautiful lights! 
I admit, I completely hit my wall toward the end of the evening and had to take a rest while McKinley & Cary rode the carousel.  They had a great time though and I took a little break. 
Our trip wasn't complete without visiting our very favorite tree on the zoo property at White River Gardens.  It's always breath taking, total photo op!  The zoo is always gorgeous at Christmas but I'm always so amazed by the gorgeous display inside the Greenhouse at the Gardens.  The poinsettia varieties are magnificent. 

We ended our night with a late dinner at Red Robin....YUUUUUUUM (admit it, you just sang the jingle.  I did.), where we got our biggest laugh of the night: me fitting in the booth!  Holy Baby Belly, Batman!

Loving the holidays,
Lynn

We don't need mistletoe!
