Where the Wild Things Are

Last week was perfect weather for a trip to the zoo

(yes in December...you really should move to Texas)

We joined up with the Kennedys and the Durrs and went wild:)

Monkeys

Cats

Elephants

Its all natural:)

 After awhile the kiddos couldn't help but release the animal within...

Otters

Cutest Animals I've ever seen!

Christmas Day

First time ever that we had to wake the kiddos up!

Wanted to squeeze everything in before church.

Lots of food and fun

So lucky to have 16 inlaws in Texas to share the holidays with!

The cast:

Grandpa: narrator, Krew (Jesus), Aidyn (Mary), Kolby (Joseph), Olivia, Ellie, Kinliegh (Angels), Levi (shepherd), Leilani (bearded shepherd and wiseman), Mia (wiseman), Jack (star and hay-eating animal), Naomi...um I think she just came to worship at one point:)

The grandparents just returned from a Disney Cruise and Disney World...thus the awesome gifts:)
