Oh, Christmas Tree!

We have tried to take advantage of the warmer December weather by venturing out to tree lightings and holiday festivities.


We got really lucky for member preview night at the zoo...it was nearly 70 degrees that day so we put the girls in the jammies and headed to look at lights. As always, the zoo did not disappoint. Carli talked dad into an overpriced Christmas necklace and we all had hot chocolate.




Ivy-our Elf on a Shelf came back and has been playing tricks and being silly every day!







Kennedy loves being strapped to mommy!

Although it was a little colder outside we also went to Holiday in the City in Springfield with Nick's side of the family. We visited the candy store for hot chocolate and loved the fireworks display. Carli's favorite part of the evening was a tie between the dance party she had with Grandma in the tent or the iced Christmas cookie she got to eat on the way home (also thanks to Grandma:)




My little girl looks so big here!

A few days later we went into downtown Hilliard to watch the tree lighting and have some holiday fun. I was really impressed with the set up our little town put on. They had kids caroling, live reindeer, Christmas cookies, free hot chocolate, and lots of other activities we couldn't even get to. I think this event will definitely be a tradition in our family for years to come.
Everyone was crowded around the tree singing Christmas songs. It was such a cool moment that brought the whole town together. I loved it!!

Mailing her letter to Santa!


We even had time to finally decorate our own Christmas tree!!
