Zoo Lights

There are so many fun things to do at Christmas time and if you want your kids to see Santa there are lots of places to go. We headed over to Zoo Lights with Tammy and Grace and I witnessed my little boy growing up. If you scroll down the blog you'll see Johnny crying just like Grace on the big guy's lap last year. He did the same thing for the Easter Bunny in April. He was great this year though. Boy, these kids grow fast!

1st Sweater

I recently learned how to knit, and after doing a scarf and a couple of other little things I thought I'd tackle an article of clothing. My goal was to make this orange sweater for Johnny and have it ready to wear in the fall. I kept picturing him in a pumpkin patch with it on, but I just didn't get it done in time. Sad, but I'm so glad I didn't just not do it because look at how cute he is!!! He has pretty much already grown out of it, but I guess that's ok since I'll have another little guy that can wear it in about 2 years:)

When Santa asked Johnny what he wanted for Christmas, he replied, "STICKS!"

So, I chose mantel #3 and absolutely LOVE it!!

I'm so glad we covered the hearth with stone too.
