It's the New Year and we're already running full steam ahead! We start off the year by seeing Zoo Lights! I got to try out my new camera and I'm very excited about having it! I now have one that fits in my purse so we should never again say "I forgot the camera!!" which is quite thrilling for me!

November 2009

Just when you thought Halloween was over here comes Boo at the Zoo! Karalee wasn't interested in being Sully again but Alastair was happy to be a giraffe again. I think he made the real ones wonder what was going on and made them wonder how they could escape lol.

We also celebrated Christmas early with Dana's parents which they really enjoyed. They come for Christmas every other year so that we have a year when it's just our little family which I really like so we thought it'd be fun for them to still have Christmas ... a month early lol. We did it when I was kids with my family and it's still a fond memory for me. :-)

P.S. You'll notice the punctuation issue has been fixed and I no longer have huge run on paragraphs lol. I fixed the posts that had them so they should all look like normal paragraphs again. =)
