For Christmas this year we bought a real tree and set it up the weekend after Thanksgiving. We bought this tree not remembering that we had borrowed a tree stand the last time we had a real one. So we got the tree home and couldn't put it up. Off we went to find a tree stand. Three stores and two purchases later we finally found one that fit around the base of our tree.
We got to open Christmas presents later in the afternoon on Christmas day. We went to church first and the came home to open presents. Isaac asked Santa for Handcuffs with a key, dominoes, and Woody. He was thrilled when he received all three things he asked for.
During the Holiday season we are reminded how truly blessed we are. The holiday time can be hectic for everyone, but it is the busiest time of the year for Marshal at work. We are grateful for family and friends who work around our crazy schedules, and invite us to various events. We can not say Thank You enough for those of you who have helped us this past year. We are truly blessed by having you all in our lives. Thanks again and Happy Holidays.

Free Zoo Day!
Horray for Hogle Zoo. They have been doing free zoo days on the last Wednesday of each month. We decided to brave the cold and go on Dec 28th. It was cold, but we also got to see a lot of animals we generally can't find during the summer. The elephants were playing with Christmas Trees and the tigers were up and walking around. We were surprised that they were so active, but we guess they had to move around or they would be freezing.
