Columbus Zoo Wildlights!

Here are some pics from our night at the Columbus Zoo. Every year they have a "Wildlights" display and we hadn't been to see it in about 8 years (we go to the zoo often, but hadn't been to the display, that is). :) I must say, I was very impressed! It was much nicer than I remember it being. Mark and I probably enjoyed it more than the kids, tho. Since it is at night, there aren't many animals to see and the ones that you CAN see are PACKED full of people! I think the kids would have preferred seeing the animals more than the lights. Still, it was a nice evening and I am glad we got to go and see it. We tried to take some pictures, but you couldn't really capture the magnificance of it all!

Speaking of pictures, we have been taking LOTS of little impromptu photo sessions w/different family members! And what fun that has been!!!! I will post some soon! My mom has been wanting a "good" shot of all three of her grandbabies (my two boys and my niece) and I must say this................it is IMPOSSIBLE to get a picture of the three of them together!!!! IMPOSSIBLE!!!! Soooo, we are gonna pick one and send it as is!!!!! :))

Have a good weekend!!!

Merry Christmas!

Just wanted to give a quick update and wish everyone a "MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!" I'm not sure where the time goes, but man, it sure goes quick!!! We got to go and see the Christmas lights at the zoo, the other night, and I was really impressed! I hadn't been to the Wild Lights in about eight yrs. and I think they have really improved and are definately worth going to see!!! Mark and I are doing the pictures for Secret Santa again this year (at the elementary school). We have done it the past two yrs. and it is always a lot of fun - a lot of work, but a lot of fun, as well! :) We sort of think of it as "our volunteer time" that makes up for any other area we lack in helping!!! :)

We painted our former "toy" room and moved all the toys to the basement (which Mark is still remodeling, btw, will it EVER be done?)! lol!!! We still moved the toys down there b/c they were all over the place and will be more "contained" down in the basement. I am very happy w/how the freshly painted room looks. Now..........I can focus on the next room that needs painted! lololol!!! :)) Mark is going to take a couple of days off next week to work on the basement and thinks he can get a LOT of it done!!! WooHoo!!! :)

Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the holidays!!!

I am running over to the school to help price items for the Secret Santa!

Take Care and have a good week!

Love, Cissa

P.S. Since both boys are in school today (Jake's kindergarten is every other day), I get to have lunch w/my mama!!!! Yeah!!!!! :)
