Winterhaven

Believe it or not that is the name of a neighborhood in Tucson. This is THE place to go to look at Christmas lights. For 2 weeks before Christmas they shut down all traffic in the neighborhood so families can walk through and see all of the amazing displays! What a fun night for our family! Between the cooler than normal weather and all of the beautiful lights...it really is a "winterhaven" right in the middle of the desert!

Logan turns 9!

Logan is now officially 9! Hard to believe he is that old...I thought I was still 25? We had a jam packed fun filled day. We started off the morning with family presents and chocolate chip pancakes for dessert...I mean breakfast. That afternoon Logan had a party at Peter Piper Pizza with some of his friends and finally that evening we went to see the lights at Winterhaven (those pics will be in another post.) Needless to say we all slept great last night!




Perfect start to the day!






Logan was thrilled to be gifted with a few of his obsessions..books and hexbugs. Oh and now he finally has a scooter of his own!


Fun games and rides at Peter Piper Pizza...










Pizza time!

No pizza party would be complete without a commemorative autographed t-shirt!

Chistmas fun at school!

Our PTA put on a fantastic "Holiday Family Fun Night" at our school. The boys' were able to participate in several fun Christmas activities. There were games, crafts, gifts, and of course santa! We LOVE our school!

The zoo...at night...with Christmas lights...YES please!

This was our 1st year going to see the "Zoo Lights" and we were not disappointed! The boys' really thought it was magical seeing their very familiar zoo at night all decked out in lights! It was a beautiful night in the 60's...just cool enought that the hot chocolate warmed up our tummies. We will be making this an annual tradition in our family! Thanks to the Marx family for hanging out with us!




Trying to catch the falling "snow"...







Ending our night with a fun train ride! Poor Carson's head is hiding behind the frame.
