$29.00 addmission...WHAT???

Today we took a trip to the Wildlife World Zoo. Good thing I had a 2 for 1 coupon because admission is $29.00 per person...so NOT worth it, but the kids had fun!!

EXHAUSTED after running all around the zoo!

The good thing about this zoo is there were not a lot of people there so Morgan and Tristan were really able to run and have fun. The bad thing is the cost of admission for something I felt was not worth it. The aquarium is so talked up and then you go in and it was disappointing to me. I guess I just expected more. But, I am very thankful we were able to escape the walls of my home for a few hours and spend some time with my mom today! So for that it was well worth it!

On Christmas Eve we went to church and enjoyed a WONDERFUL service. Our Pastor always know just what we need in our lives...I know that is the Lord working through him. Our world has become filled with such distress and anger with all the people out of work and hurting for money just to survive. This is something that Shawn and I have unfortunately had to go through, as Shawn was laid off 3 times in the past 3 years. We have made it work and I thank God everyday that he has been there to help us, because I have still been able to stay home to be a mommy! Shawn is finally working again and through all of the stress the past 3 years the service on Christmas Eve really opened my eyes to realize even more all the "stuff" really doesn't matter because I have my family, my husband, my children, my parents, my sis...all of you! I have struggled this year with friendships and thinking those were "true" friendships and really they weren't. I am thankful for those in my life who are near and far. So with all of that I just want you to watch this video and listen to the words and know NOTHING in life is worth being upset over as long as you have your loved ones...you can SURVIVE it ALL!

Heading out for church with Grandma and Grandpa.

Ready for church...purse and all!

This year with our Christmas cards I decided to do something different...which now is going to turn into something special. I took every picture card we got and put it on our tree this year. I found that our tree now is a little to small for all the ornaments and cards...so a new, bigger tree is in store for us for our ornaments and this one will now hold our cards each and every year!

There is always a favorite gift...well this is Morgan's!

Zach would not let me take pictures of him, with his favorite, but it was his new PSP...you should have seen his face light up when he opened the box. Christmas through a kids eye will NEVER get old!
