Zoo

Logan and I took a trip to the zoo to see how Daizy, the baby elephant was doing. We went last week, I think Monday?? It was cold and cloudy but we had fun. Here's some highlights from the trip.

The elephants stayed close to the back gate. Baby still stays close to Mama.

Chubby little prairie dogs. They were cute. Logan really liked them.

The giraffe was right at the gate for us.

Even posed for a picture.

Park Pictures

We went to the park yesterday. It was a really nice day and actually not freezing-for once. We only needed light sweaters. Logan had fun running around a playing. He does the slides by himself now. I think preschool might have helped with that fear. He used to not go down by himself or wanted someone to catch him. Now he goes by himself and doesn't want anyone at the bottom. He still won't do the swings. But he's never liked swings, even his baby one.

Christmas and more

I'm finally getting around to putting up the Christmas pictures. The last few weeks have been busy. Dan had a 4 day weekend over New Years and I was working, doing some New Years Eve crafting parties. We got a tiny bit of snow last week, just a dusting that was gone by lunch time, but it's been really cold. Logan goes back to school tomorrow and things should get back to normal. Here's some highlights from our Christmas.

On December 23 we made sugar cookies for Santa. Logan helped cut out the shapes and decorate them.

Here's some of the finished cookies.

On Christmas Eve Logan was a spider in the Christmas Pageant. The pageant this year was The Friendly Beasts. There were penguins and dogs and cows and sheep and a monkey and an alligator. We weren't allowed to take pictures during the pageant but they did let us take some picture before the service started. Logan got to bring up the Halo for Jesus, as the friendly beast story goes, the spider spun him a halo above his head. Other things brougt up were hay from the cow for a pillow, and wool from the sheep for a blanket.

Alot of the animals weren't there in time for the pictures.


After the pageant we came home to set out cookies and milk for Santa. This year we also left a carrot for the reindeer.

We hung up our stockings, and went right to bed.

Christmas morning Logan got to open his stocking gifts before Breakfast.

He got books and stuffed animals and games in his stocking, and also a horse.

Here's Logan with the horse he got in his stocking. Logan named it Peanut Butter.

Later we opened the rest of the gifts, and watched the Disney World Parade, while doing so.

We didn't get a lot of pictures of the presents. He got a lot of stuffed animals-or stuffed Disney Characters. Dan thought we had to 'complete' his collection so we now have a Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Pooh, Eeyore, Tigger, and Piglet. The 3 in bold are the ones he got for Christmas. Needless to say his room looks like a Disney Store display :) He also got some Sesame Street Legos, some socks and underwear and a few books and games.

New Years Eve, we stayed home and didn't do much. Dan was a little sick so he went to bed really early, before Logan, and the cats and I just watched a movie.
