Zoo Lights14.


I seriously love our zoo. I know Memphis has its problems, but I genuinely appreciate things like this. Its such great family fun at an affordable price. This was actually my first time going to zoo lights, and it was so magical! I probably had more fun than Rob. Hehe! What can I say? Im  a sucker for cold weather, snow (fake or not), and lights twinkling everywhere. Im a kid at heart. The picture above is me dancing with Rob by this tree. As soon as we pulled up, I yanked him out of the stroller and fell into my own world singing him songs and dancing. It wasn't until I was laughed at by a group of teenagers walking by, that I realized I needed to snap out of it, and remember I was in public. woops! I hate it when I do that. who cares. they'll understand one day. That's what I told myself.:) Seriously, if you think things like this are fun now, wait until you have kids. Their innocence and wonderment with the simplest of things is what awakens the magic inside of your heart. Places like this is what helps me to see the world through my toddlers eyes, and just live in the innocence of such tender moments.. Its so nice. And very refreshing. Im already looking forward to next year, Memphis zoo.

Christmas eve.

 
 
Soooo.. it technically wasn't Christmas eve tonight, but when your husband is a fireman, sometimes holidays and other happenings are just celebrated whenever they can! Which was tonight for us, and that is totally fine with me.:) I don't care what day/month/holiday of the year it is, family time is family time. We had this big night of zoo lights planned, but once again it just didn't happen. So my husband came home with dinner, my favorite Christmas movie, and a ginger bread house kit in order to make up for it.  This was actually my first time ever making a gingerbread house. can you believe it? And from the picture above you can tell. ha! poor rob... that thing just fell all apart! But we had a good time, and that is all that matters.(as cliché as it sounds). Building memories to last a lifetime are far more important than worrying about a pretty ginger house. Rob really didn't care either...he was far too consumed with eating the candy pieces :) can you blame him?
 
 
Merry Christmas Eve everybody!
 
Our best take at a family shot. its hard getting a toddler to cooperate!
