We had a wonderful visit from Gus' sister and brother in-law for New Years. Being the wonderful tita and uncle that they are, they took the big kids for the morning to go to see a movie and for lunch at the mall. What does a Mommy of three do when she is suddenly alone in the house with only her sweet baby? Take a nap! The big kids had a blast and were thoroughly spoiled. They came back and crashed for a nap while we decided what to do with the rest of the day. It was unseasonably warm here, so we decided to head to the holiday lights festival at Brookfield zoo.
Here is Isaac all bundled up and ready for his first zoo trip! He actually stayed awake to go through the monkey house and I think he liked it!
We didn't get great pictures of the actual zoo because our camera was doing some weird things for some reason. The zoo had TONS of lights and was crowded, but in a good way. They had a laser light show that the kids really enjoyed. Emie is the little coat sitting on the table and our very accommodating Isaac is asleep in the car seat.
Daddy and Nathan snuggle up for the show!
The kids wanted to see the monkeys, the dolphins and the lions, so that is what we did. The only casualty was Tita Grace's feet as she thought we were driving through to see the lights and made a poor choice in footwear. We finished up the night with some Portillos and were in bed by 10. In my opinion, there is no better place to ring in the new year than fast asleep on your pillow!
