Zoo Lights

We were supposed to go ice skating last night but daddy couldn't go with us,  so we hit Zoo Lights instead (much easier with just me and the three kiddo's). I think the kids had a good time. It was really cold and there were far too many teenagers there. I honestly think they were on a field trip at 7 pm cause I heard an older guy tell them that their parents would have to come get them. Who takes kids on a field trip at night? Lame! And teenagers are rude. There were all these little kids that wanted to look at the tigers and the older teenagers would just step right in front of the littles.
Anyway, We had fun. There were still a few animals to see, like this little owl. It was asleep and Dawson was totally miffed because it is supposed to be nocturnal so why wasn't it awake?
So here a few pics just for pics sake.

Oh Christmas Tree!

We have had a bit of fun this last week with our Christmas Advent Calendar. I will give you the low down of activities through my experiments with my new toy.

Monday: Cait's Piano Recital. I didn't take one of her playing because I was doing a video, but this works.

Tuesday: My nephew Evan's band recital. He looks so cheery doesn't he?

Wednesday: We wrapped presents that the kids are giving to each other. 

Thursday: We read the story of Hansel and Gretel and then made our own little yummy house.

Friday: We went to see the lights at Temple Square. I really enjoyed using my camera here. I was able to get nice pictures of the lights that I have never been able to capture before.
