Pre-Christmas in Indianapolis

This year we spent 2 1/2 weeks in Colorado for the holidays. Call me paranoid, but I didn't want to parade the fact that we weren't home on this blog. So I took a break.  

BUT my head is back in the game and I am ready to play catch up.

So, to kick off our holidays, Kyle and I spent a night baking Christmas goodies and then delivering them to our friends. It was a blast making Snowball-No-Bake-Cookies, Rudolph and Snowmen Cupcakes, Dark Chocolate Cranberry Pistachio Bark, and Snickerdoodles. Sure that night Avery may have missed her typical bedtime by 4 hours, and we may have listened to the same Christmas CD 3 times, and I may have nursed Sawyer in the car 2 times, but we were 1 happy family because of it.

And although we wouldn't be around Indianapolis to celebrate Christmas, we knew there was no way we could leave without visiting our wonderful zoo to see the Christmas lights.

Kyle and I have yet to have a Christmas tree for our last 3 Christmases, so we have to go somewhere to teach our children about the beauty of Christmas lights.

A perfect beginning to our holidays!
