Visiting Santa at Cosley Zoo

We also saw bobcats, a spotted llama, and some cool chickens.

We made some crafts, listened to stories, and were given cookies.

In the grandparents’ kitchen

Ezri wanted to make Cranberry bread.  It was not originally on the menu, but Grandma Liz made it happen.  It happened first thing so the kids helped in their pajamas.

With all its lilacs and tulips, Ezri is pretty sure that at night this park is a fairy playground and they have butterflies for pets. She and Ivan made a pine tree their “secret base.” Ivan was a super spy penguin and Ezri was a mermaid during our outing. They enjoyed climbing on rocks and, despite initial fears, no one fell into the fountain at the center of the park.

Egg Gentlemen

We colored our eggs with Meghan and then added happy sticker faces. It makes them harder to eat, but we’re managing.

Happy 2014

New Year’s Eve
Ezri got to go bowling with friends in the morning. She’s pretty good with a 6 lb ball.
In the evening there was a half sleepover party thrown by a very cool family with a girl just Ezri’s age and an older girl for her to idolize.
Ezri got her own Champagne glass with purple stripes on it filled with fancy fizzy apple juice.
Her doll got to join a toy celebration over at the toy table which had little glasses and plates for all the toys.
There were cookies and brownies.
Great party to start 2014 with some great friends.

Thanks. . . to all our friends and family for contributions to a very happy holiday

thanks
