We went to see Santa at the mall this week and Brandon was elated! He practiced what he was going to say to him and was able to communicate effectively his desire for a cat! He was a little nervous (as you can tell in the photo), but he was very brave. He was extremely confused when we left empty handed. He apparently thought he was supposed to get his cat right then and there!
We went to the Phoenix Zoo for family night to see the "Zoo Lights". We went with Sean's mom and Sean's sister and her family. Brandon had cute cousins to play with and Sean and I had good company as well. It was a blast! There was so much to see and fun Christmas music playing the whole way through. One of the first things to see is this large tree completely covered in blue lights. It was truly a spectacle! Look for Brandon standing on the rock in front of the tree.
Brandon has always loved alligators and enjoyed the lighted alligators, too!
This photo below does not do the spiders any justice. They were so cool!! They had the large spiders up in the trees and one spider is about to eat a bug stuck in the web. I really thought of Lizzie and how much she would have enjoyed this little scene.
This rattle snake's tail changed to make it seem like it was rattling.
Some animals were still awake when we were wondering around. I guess this Zebra got used to his peace after dark, so he was snacking right next to the viewer area. He immediately ran off after the flash went off right in his face. Sorry, Zebra!
This is a video of the light show on the bridge. The lights corresponded to the song and was really fun for everyone. We will definitely be back to "Zoo Lights" next year. It was an impressive display.

This is the coolest Christmas activity yet! My kids were all over this post. Thanks for the video so we could it experience it as well. We may have to come visit next year just so we can go with you. So cool!
Very fun! But may I add that I love your coat, hat and bag!! Looking very good girl!!
You have really done some great things this season. I loved the photos of the lights and lighted animals, especially the snake. You and Sean look great. It is snowing very hard here tonight and snowing especially hard in the mountains. Great news for your upcoming visit.
That is probably one of the cutest pictures I've seen of you and Sean! LOVE IT!
What a fantastic Christmas thing to do! I can see why Brandon loved it. I have always loved anything with lights, as they remind me of the true "Light" of Christmas. Have a great time in Utah skiing, you will have plenty of snow. I can whine officially, as we did NOT get any snow for Christmas.
