Zoo Lites

This past weekend decided to get into a new family tradition and we took Lil Peanut to the Denver Zoo's Zoo Lights. It was a really neat event they put on. There were thousands of trees lit up with twinkle lights, and they had tons of animals made from lights. You could walk through some, they had them hanging in the trees. Overall it was a really great experience!

Christmas Party

Lil Peanut had a school Christmas party last week and I have to say I have never seen Lil Peanut on such a sugar high from the Christmas cookies. It was fun because Mimi was able to come and visit too! The kiddos saw Santa, and played with their friends. 

Love this time of year!

iPhone photos I love

Happy December everyone! Lil Peanut and I have been very busy this holiday season; we've shopped till we dropped, baked cookies, and decorated. Here are some pictures I love this week.

Pinecone Turkeys

We had a fun lil project to add to our festive Thanksgiving table. Lil Peanut helped me make pinecone turkeys. We got all of our supplies at Hobby Lobby

Here's how we made them...

1. We traces Lil Peanuts hands on festive paper and then momma cut them out.
2. Shaped orange pipe cleaners into what looked like feet.
3. Got the glue gun ready (momma only) and glued a brown pompon on the pinecone for the head, wiggle eyes, a piece of red pipecleaner and yellow felt for the beak and giblet.
4. Then I took the cut out hands glued them to the pinecone as well as the feet.

I really love doing lil projects like this with Lil Peanut. It gives him a contribution to the overall family tradition and something to be proud he made!

Lil Things

It's the lil things in life that fill your heart with happiness. Lil Peanut decided to play with Papa's gloves last night and couldn't stop giggling! He's so darn cute!

A lil late but cute!

So I'm a little behind of going through the thousands of iPhone photos I take each month so here is a late post of Lil Peanuts Halloween at school. The kiddos all got to dress up in their costumes and have a costume parade, and then go trunk-or-treating (some parents at school decorated the trunks of their cars in the parking lot and passed out candy). Papa even stopped by to say hi!

He wouldn't put his hood on...
