Festival of Lights

The highlight of our Christmas festivities so far this season was going to the Cincinnati Zoo for the Festival of Lights! It was a beautiful winter evening and it definitely helped to get us in the Holiday spirit!
Both girls were more than willing to touch the VERY large Boa Constrictor!


Beautiful lights!


Our family in front of the beautiful Christmas tree (a little dark!!).

Anna was terrified of Santa (that may be an understatement). This makes two years in a row that or sweet girls wanted NOTHING to do with the jolly fellow!

Claire, on the other hand, was more than willing to sit on Santa's lap and according to Santa himself, she asked for pink roller skates!

Train ride around the zoo!


The carousel ride was a favorite of the girls and we went several times!!

Mama enjoyed it, too!

The lights were so pretty and bright (Ben said they switched to LED lights this year!).

We LOVE Elephants!

I've never seen pink roller skates. You may have to break out the spray paint!
