Christmas Events
Last weekend was pretty eventful. Got to do some of the Christmas festivities with the kids. On Sunday, we went to the Wonderland of Lights event at Potter Park Zoo. The whole place looked pretty cool, the kids loved it. It was really cold though, and the only animal that was out and about was the owl. They did have an inside event going on where you could pet a possum and a rabbit. Also, they had a face art thing going on, there are pics of that in the previous post.
On Monday, we all went to the mall to go see Santa. This is the first year both kids sat on his lap. Hailey did when she was 1, but had been afraid since. This year, Hailey got scared again as we approached Santa, but Brett ran right up to him and gave him a five, then Hailey got more comfortable. I decided to get the kids some nice outfits this year for when I take them to the family events. They also wore them to see Santa. The kids picked the clothes out themselves, and I'd have to say they have some good taste. Hailey chose a nice white and red dress with bows and such. Brett got a nice button-up shirt with a black velvet vest with some pinstripe dress pants. He looks like a little man in that outfit. I have a pic of them with Santa, but that will have to wait until I feel like tackling my scanner.
We don't have any further Christmas events going on family-wise until the weekend prior to Christmas. This Friday, my work is doing a holiday party, and in Liquid Web fashion it will likely be over the top, so I am looking forward to that. There also seems to be a hookah night coming up on Saturday. Those used to be pretty regular, have been happening much less frequently, especially after I left Corecomm. So, that is another thing that should make this upcoming weekend also be nice.
