Our Good Friends, the Jordyns, called us Thursday and said they were going to
ZooLights
on Friday Night. We decided to join them and it was amazing!
Of course we picked THE COLDEST NIGHT so far, only in the 20's I believe, but THAT didn't stop the kids one bit, from having a blast!
It was incredible all the light displays they had set up. Imagine the hours of work to set it up and then the electric bill!!
There weren't many actual animals to see, except those indoors.
Kaipo was fascinated by this Boa.
We had some good times, indoors, while TRYING to get warm!
Ash was MUCH HAPPIER to roam about, not confined in the stroller.
Ame with Donavan (he is our other good friends, the Tongs, son) and Skyler.
Cute Gingerbread house
Even better WITH the WHOLE family!
(nice reflectors QUinn)

SO after a very late night Friday, we were up bright and early Saturday for our Ward Christmas Breakfast.
The theme was 
SOme of the children did a nativity.
The theme was All Aboard!
The Riverdale 8th Ward Express
(all were encouraged to wear PJ's)
above: one of the Bishopric members read aloud
The Polar Express to the children
SOme of the children did a nativity.Ame was an angel.
The primary children all sang, and I had to include this picture below.
It was nice to be able to just enjoy the party, rather than stressfully running the show.
The primary children all sang, and I had to include this picture below.Although very blurry, you can see the primary president TRYING
to talk Kaipo into...not playing with curtains, not running around and singing with the rest of the children. SHE is very patient, and speaks so kind and softly. Not quite the same tone as what Kaipo is used to hearing!
It was nice to be able to just enjoy the party, rather than stressfully running the show.Although, Quinn teaches on Sat. mornings & was not with us, so my stress was just channeled in a different direction!
We LOVE the polar express and thought this theme was fun . We came home and hung our BELLS on the tree. We hope you remember...
The Spirit rings true for All who Believe!
*We hope you are enjoying the Holiday Season*
