We spent part of our Friday night going to the annual Christmas light/nativity scene at the zoo. Last year was the first year we went and we really enjoyed it. This year they added to it and allowed viewing at more of the exhibits. It's kind of hard to see the animals in the dark, but there is enough light to see them moving about in their cages. It's actually fun to go at night and see the animals because they are more active. The event is free and they offer hot chocolate to everyone, which makes it even better. After we were done we headed out and looked at Christmas lights. It was so much fun to have Christmas music playing in the car and to drive around with the ones I love looking at the lights. What made it even more fun was the excitement Matthew had for every house he saw decorated with lights. At one point I was driving and the little voice in the back said, "slow down, you're driving too fast." So followed orders and slowed down so he could see the lights. Then he said, "when I tell you to stop, you stop." Of course we had to stop outside the next two houses and analyze everything they had in their front yards, but it was entertaining to hear Matthew and my mom point things out, so it was worth it. Christmas is so much this year because Matthew gets it!
That is an adorable shot of Matthew's eyes over his cocoa cup. :)
