Christmas Shenanigans {2016}

December is crammed full of activities.  We did the annual "Zoo Lights" evening at the Oakland Zoo, decorated the Christmas tree, visited Deacon Dave's, Lily visited with Santa a few times (she's no longer scared of him, and quite happily gave him her list of wants.  At the top? Roller skates.), rode the Train of Lights, and watched a performance of The Nutcracker at the LDS Oakland Temple and checked out the lights on Temple Hill.  And we made and decorated sugar cookies.  Because, tradition!  I truly love this season and the time I get to spend with my little tribe, making our own traditions and memories with our Bean.
