The Christmas Season






Morgan is finally old enough to get the concept of Christmas which made the holiday season a little extra special this year. We tried to work in a few fun extras. December 23rd we went to the Denver Zoo to see the Zoo Lights Display. I tried to make it very clear that since we were going to the zoo when it was dark, most of the animals would be in bed. But, the animals had decorated their houses with plenty of lights of us to look it. Despite my prep work, there was some disappointment when Morgan realized that the majority of the animals we would be seeing were just light displays. A few animal houses were open though and the carousel was running. Things took a turn for the better when friends Kiera and Conner from Joycare arrived. It was cold but still a fun evening.

On Christmas Eve we slowly let on that this was the night that Santa came. The excitement built and we were lucky enough to have a special visit from Santa at our house that night. Our neighbors Ed/Tannis/Jasper/Chay were over for dessert and were lucky enough to be there when Santa stopped by.

Christmas morning was all about opening presents....which he loved. He even helped his 6 month old cousin Charlotte open her presents.
