Christmas with Nana and Papa Mike

We had a really good time with Nana and Papa Mike.

Nana had this really neat book that the characters moved as you turned the pages! 

Audrey loved the alligator at the end.

Audrey was helping Nana take off all the ornaments on her tree! She has become an expert on that since de-ornamenting our tree at home!

Audrey had her daddy and Mushy busy building blocks...

only so she could tear it down as soon as they got it up...her favorite game! Daddy kept getting frustrated fighting for his building's life! Audrey was too quick though!

We went to the Alexandria Zoo to see the lights among all the animals! Audrey was excited about the turtle and jumping off of it, as opposed to sitting for the picture!

 

Even though the lights were really pretty and the animals were neat, she had the best time running up and down this little mole hill at the entrance of the zoo!

We finally tore her away from her little mole hill and actually went to see the animals at the Zoo.

We tried to get a shot with Santa, but next to Santa would have to do. Audrey wasn't too excited about that...

 but seeing the giant Elmo was tolerable. 

Tanner and Audrey fed the fish, and daddy almost fed Audrey to the fish! Aunt Avery, Uncle Justin, and Molly were able to join us at the zoo!

Daddy helping Audrey get a better look at the animals.

After a while, it was just cold and the big girls were getting tired. (not me, Molly and Audrey)

 

All in all, the girls were wonderfully behaved, and had a good time seeing the animals. Back to Nana's house to play with the castle and the blocks. She has this little castle with a trap door and tunnel that the girls never got sick of.

Christmas Time with NANA!!

We had the best little Santa's elves!

Of course...Tanner's signature shot...

We tried to get this shot multiple times, and this was the best we could come up with...

 Nana and Papa Mike cooked a big Christmas lunch for us all at Papa Mike's house. He has a bunch of grandkids himself, so Audrey and Molly were having a field day with all of the toys at his house. Once we exhausted her as much as we could, we packed up the car and headed to our home sweet home for our own Christmas!
