Sigh…It’s Over

Everyone in this household was more than ready for Christmas break.  And for good reason.  It provided everything that we were eagerly anticipating.  But, alas, tonight I had to pack lunches – a sign that tomorrow brings us back to the grind.
But we managed to squeeze in a fun day Saturday to the zoo.  Paige was able to invite a couple friends as a sort of mini birthday celebration.  We ended up having the best zoo experience we’ve probably ever had as a family.  Despite my feeling like it really wasn’t a stand-out birthday “party,” I did overhear one of Paige’s friend ask her if this was the best birthday party she has ever had, or what?  This was said while watching busy kangaroos jumping – one with a joey in it’s pouch!
Top it off with some of the biggest snowflakes we’ve had this season, and it was a beautiful day!  Enjoy some pics!

What Will would look like if he was a gorilla...that wore a shirt and tie.

My cute little joeys

Paige and her friends!

For real.  Like, I could see his uvula.

The whole gang

We swore this lion posed for this picture.

Great way to end the break - and happy birthday hurrah for Paige!
