Zoo Lights

Once upon a time there was a freezing cold night (every night since Thanksgiving) and the Hannant Family decided to go and admire the lights at the Zoo!

 Once we were all bundled up we purchased our overpriced glowing toys, and we were off for a good time!

 I am pretty sure Avery was more impressed with her new sword than any of the lights!

 Addie on the other hand was mesmerized by all the creations (all the animals were inside asleep).

 What can I say this family is full of opposites! 

 Good thing that I brought the stroller and some extra blankets, it was a chilly night!

 Even thou the animals were all out of lights, Dad and Addie were still in Zoo heaven.

 At least the tigers had to sleep outside, so we were able to watch them, most all the other animals were in the warm comforts of inside.

 But that is OK we were bundled up and had a great time admiring the lights and watching Prancer and Dancer!

How we Enjoy the Holidays

In the beginning I worried that we were not going to have any snow for the Holidays, but boy was I wrong!

Once it started it didn't stop!  We had snow coming out of our eyeballs!

It was fun while it was fresh.

It seemed to make everything a little more festive and gave our Christmas light a little extra sparkle.

We also managed to hang out and sass Mom a lot!

While Avery preferred the warmth of the house, Dad and Addie were always finding reasons to head out into the cold!

Addie would play out into the snow until she turned into a popcicle if I would let her!

It may seem like we hibernated at home but we managed to squeeze in some family time too.

Off for more adventures!

Avery's turn to attack!  Those Price cousins are pretty good wrestlers, but I'm certain that in a few years they won't be able to always win a 2X attack.

When Addie wasn't in the snow she was drawing a picture or creating check lists! 

yup, that was enough time inside, back out to the freezing cold! Yes Mom and Avery took our turn on the sledding hill, but we could not take the cold wind, plus my snow clothes aren't fitting so great this year :)

Merry Cripmas!

Merry Cripmas, as Avery would yell!  With another very blessed year we are very thankful for all of our blessing and this opportunity to remember our Savior.

 This year we received an extra special out of the ordinary kind of present.  We are getting a baby brother this summer!

 We all went and had an ultrasound on Christmas eve and then gave it to a close friend who prepared our big reveal!  It was such a fun surprise!  Paul was prepared for another girl, so when we opened the box he saw purple!  It wasn't until I yelled it's a boy that it even registered in his brain that is was blue and not purple!

 After a quick mass text we put our phones away and enjoyed getting spoiled rotten!

 After Avery talking about this stroller for an entire month, she was still beyond excited when she was it in her living room!

 Ellie on the other hand is still a little unsure about her present!

 And of course we spent the rest of the day enjoying all of our new treasures!
