Locks of Love

I have been growing my hair out for what feels like months now to donate to locks of love. I finally bit the bullet today and cut it, I love my new 'do...it just feels weird to have so little hair :O)

Oh and when I met Luis and my mom for lunch he didn't want to see me for a few minutes, like he wasn't totally convinced it was his momma talking to him.

Before...

Me and my pony

Please excuse the cheesey grin

Zoo Lights

We took Luis to zoo lights last Friday night and it turned out to be a perfect night because it has been way too cold since then to go. Although he was up past his bedtime he had a good time oooohing and ahhhhing at the scenes.

Calling Gaga to tell on Mom and Dad for taking him out so late

Post zoo lights fun...he had to layer to stay warm

Parade of Lights

Luis and I went to the Parade of Lights on Saturday night, the weather was beautiful and we couldn't pass up the opportunity. Unfortunately Oscar had to work so I've only got 1 pic, its hard to carry as 23 lb stinky, make sure he sees some of the parade and take pics.

We met Oscar for dinner after and Luis was being so silly, making his electrified face and cracking us up.

Making Wreaths

Erin suggested this year that we start a new tradition of making pinecone wreaths with Aunt Carol and my mom each winter. We decided the day after Thankgiving would work best since we were all of of work, so we gathers the little people and headed to Gaga's house.

We thought it would be a couple of hours, but turned out to take 6 or 7 hours because there was so much more detail that I imagined.

I've got pictures of the before and after...please excuse us all for looking so rough :O)

So kade asked if he could take a few pictures, these are his contribution.

Here is my after, I am so proud of my wreath! I love it but it weighs about 10lbs so it isn't hung up on the wall yet, we need some seriously reinforced drywall hangers!
