Zoo

This morning, we made our first trip of the season to the zoo. I wanted to go with Curt the first time so that I could see how it was going to work having Lucy & the stroller with us. It was pretty busy since it's the weekend, but we had a fun time even with the crowds.

 There wasn't any one else waiting for a turn, so Ben got to enjoy a nice long 'ride'.

 I wanted to have a picture taken with Ben and he insisted that we be in the tent.
 The leopard was pacing and making loud growling sounds.
She woke up from a little rest to check out the zoo with us. 
 The one thing Ben really wanted to do was feed the giraffes. I was so happy that they were up by the fences when we got to that part of the zoo.
 Ben used to LOVE this komodo dragon a couple years ago...now he just gives it a quick look.

We hung out by the sea lions for a while watching them swim. Lucy really liked being carried around and looking at everything.

Enjoying December

I'm glad we had time to make sugar cookies together. Christmastime does not seem complete without them. I frosted the cookies while Ben and Curt decorated.  Lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips!  Ben loved getting slippers and a robe with his "Christmas Eve" jammies. He does love to be cozy. We decided to move up our present opening a day early because we thought I might end up in the hospital on Christmas. But, today is the 27th and still no baby. So we were a bit off on that one.  Santa brought the Lewis Hamilton car that Ben had asked him for. He was very excited!  The new pirate ship has been a favorite. He has played with it a TON a last few days.  Ben also got a few more pirate dress-up things. I've heard "Aarg!" a lot lately. :)  My parents came yesterday for a visit since my dad has this week off of work. We're hoping that I'll have the baby while they are here, but I'm not sure that is going to happen since they head home tomorrow. Ben ...

The Big 3-0!

Today I turned 30 years old. I didn't think that it would make me feel old, but it kinda does. :) I had a wonderful birthday. Curt went out and got us donuts for breakfast. Then, I got to open my presents. He did a great job shopping and I love everything he picked out! For lunch we went out to Olive Garden and then stopped by the mall for a little while. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. I hope this getting older doesn't mean that gray hairs are going to start showing up! While I got ready this morning, Curt got out his old car track. He hasn't used it in many years, so he wasn't sure if it would work. Ben loved watching the cars race around the track. We enjoyed eating lunch at Olive Garden. Ben was too interested in coloring to look up at the camera. I love cheesecake for my birthday and Curt made this one for me all by himself. It is a chocolate chip recipe that is one of my favorites. He only added one candle per decade...we didn't ...
