Have yourself a merry little Christmas...

I love Christmas. But this year I seem to be exceptionally antsy for some reason. And tomorrow the festivities begin!

We hope that all of you take some time to enjoy this time of year and have a fantastic Christmas!

Deep fried smores...

Yes. They are every bit as good as they sound.

We heard (after Christmas) last year that Hogle Zoo does lights time of year. So we, and our cute friend Kelly, decided to bundle up and see them this year. IT WAS FREEZING! So we didn't stay as long as we would have liked to for fear that Landon might lose a limb due to frost bite. But they were a lot of fun none the less. They really put a lot of time and effort into these lights. It was amazing some of the scenes they created all with lights. And as mentioned before, they sell DEEP FRIED SMORES. I can't imagine how you actually deep fry a smore, but I didn't ask questions, my mouth was full. They also have some seriously tasty hot chocolate that helped to keep our hands and insides warm.

With all the the fun lights we kind of forgot about watching for animals. We did see a few in some of the indoor exhibits when we would run in to defrost a bit. But with or without the animals, it's definitely worth going. I think we will make this a yearly event. Landon was mesmorized by all the fun lights. It is definitely geared towards entertaining kids more than the average light exhibit. Plus, I'll go back every year just for those smores!
