Last weekend of December fun

 Between school, basketball, and Isaac's flu, we did not get out December wish list done.  It honestly wasn't that long, but there are only so many days in a month.  We are taking advantage of the week after Christmas to get more celebrating in!  First we went to the Dallas arboretum. 

They have a fun new Christmas village we enjoyed. 

Maya really wanted to eat this kohlrabi.  She was sure it was an apple, and I was really mean for not giving it to her. 

She had the most fun in the little kids play area. 

She loved playing peek a boo in this egg. 

How cute is she??

Here she is! 

The boys wanted to all get in on the peek a boo fun. 

This picture of Maya wearing her wrapping paper as a hat is sadly the only picture I have taken of Hanukkah so far.  I think it is because I always make the boys put on pj's before we light the candles so they come out half naked.  

One the next night of Hanukkah I got this picture of Maya opening one of her new costumes. 

We went to see the Dallas Zoo lights on the weekend after Christmas. We LOVED visiting the baby hippo! Here he is playing with him mom. 

We tried to get a few good shots together, but these were our best. 

We have some extremely silly children. 

They calmed down a little to pet this turtle. 

Maya finally enjoyed a turn on the carousel this time. She wasn't afraid at all. 

Zev loved getting one of his favorite sets of books over two nights of Hanukkah. 

Isaac really loved this Ninjago Lego motorcycle set. 

Here is Maya trying to open the fridge.  I'm not sure why she thinks we need to use our feet.  Silly girl. 

Here she is hugging her Ta Ta. 

I found her sitting like this on the table one afternoon. 

And a random picture I found of her double fisting her apples.  We've had to move the apples off the kitchen table up to the counter. 

I tried to get some good pictures on New Years Eve.  We had an early countdown with sparkling apple juice.  Then we threw poppers and lit sparklers outside.

I got some questionable sparkling apple juice selfies. 

I did get a few shots of the boys with sparklers.
