A little Christmas...and a LOT of FUN!!!

After Denise got here we decided to show her all that the Houston Zoo has to offer. :)







The new African Forest exibit is now open, and we decided to check it out. It was REALLY neat. We even got to feed the giraffes!!




FOR $5 you get 3 lettuce leaves. The boys were the second to last group that was allowed to do it. The giraffes' interest in the lettuce was waning.





It was just so neat to be that close to them. Thanks again Denise!!




How RUDE. This big guy was sitting on his friend.





This was also our first trip to the zoo with the wagon instead of a stroller. :( My babies are getting big.




With my Reed boy on the carousel.




Grant and Jeff.




Before we could blink it was Christmas EVE!! We came home from the lake and made dinner and cookies for sAnTa!!




Note to self: Do not let toddler hold the large container of sprinkles. Hope Santa likes 'em sprinkled.





We put the cookies on the table (next to the fire place) with the milk, a note, and some reindeer hay the boys made at school.





Ready to go to bed so they could wake up and see Santa!!




Denise read the boys "The Night Before Christmas" and "The Polar Express"




The next morning Santa had in fact come to the house during the night and left us some goodies!!





Mr. Archie and Bruce could hardly contain their excitement!!




Grangie and G-Pa managed to send this super COOL Diego Rescue Center all the way from PNG!! We love it!!! (Reed)





Santa also sent a cook Mickey Mouse clubhouse camper.




Grant opening another present from Grangie and G-pa.





Reed came over to help open it.





It was a Buzz Lightyear and Woody costume set!!! (Grant)





Reed looks so much like Woody!!






My little Buzz and Woody!!! They wanted a lot of Toy Story Stuff for Christmas. (even though they've never seen the 1st movie all the way through. Not to mention the 2nd or 3rd)






The biggest gift from Santa was a TRAMOLINE!!! Here are Santa's Helpers putting it together.




Santa was hoping to get it put together the night he came, but the weather did not permit assebly. So Santa left a note for Daddy to put it together.





Not sure who had more fun on the new trampoline, daddy or the kids??




My boys loving their new gift. :)




Go boys go!!






LOVE how much energy they burn with this new toy!!




Grant cooking pancakes with Denise!!





We miss her so much!! (You too Bruce!!)
