Holiday fun

Last Saturday we went over to our friends, the Hartenstein's house, and made gingerbread houses! We've done this as a family every year, but it was so fun this year to do it with all our friends too. We just bought kits because it sounded so much easier! I got one for each boy since Isaiah is a perfectionist and Elias is not at all! I know what it feels like to work on a project with a sloppy person, so I'm all for spending a little more money to help a boy out! 

We went to zoolights at the Portland zoo for our first time last night. Wendy and Lanson joined us, and the boys had a pretty great time. I didn't realize how many lights there were! It was pretty, but no animals. That was a little discouraging for the boys. The funniest part of the night was there was a man I will call the "monkey nazi". He was in the monkey area telling everyone to keep their voices down because the monkeys just went to sleep. Really?! It's a dumb monkey! I thought it was quite hilarious.
