We bundled up with Na, John, Lynn and kids and went to the Toledo Zoo Lights Before Christmas this weekend. It was cold. Poor Allie was determined not to wear her coat. But a little wrestling and straight talking from mom and dad and a big cookie as a reward seemed to finally win her over. Nate seemed to be more focused on going to every concession stand available rather than checking out the lights display as well. A seat in the stroller and a basket of nachos kept him quiet. Tessa and Kelsey were good. Those firstborn children can be difficult divas sometimes! As usual, our favorite part was the dancing trees where the lights are set to all of our most favorite Christmas songs including the Hippo song!
The plan was to get the coveted Christmas card picture. With Allie growling and Nate with nacho cheese all over his face, this didn't happen for either family. But, we did still get some good pictures...thanks to Lynn and her mad photo skills...oh, and patience too.
This was one of my attempts at a picture of Nate and Tessa together. They were sitting on panda bear...until they fell off!
