Tis the Season....

We had a power outage on Thanksgiving so we got to pull out the Christmas decorations. Marin had a blast playing with red ball garland. I am so excited about her first Christmas!!! We finished the tree today and took her to her first Christmas outing....Zoo Lights at the Lincoln Park Zoo.

Helping decorate the tree....

Trees were decorated with tons of lights.
They had monkey, penguin, and other animal lights but there were too many people
to get good pictures. Always got a stranger's head right in the middle of the picture. 

Marin had fun! 

I couldn't find her gloves and we needed to go so she is wearing a pair of socks on her hands.
Hey, it worked. 

Trying to get a picture of her in her first Christmas outfit.
Um, she has an outfit for just about every single day in December....thanks to hand me downs! ;o)
