Christmas!

My new plates! Thanks Mom and Dad!

Our Nativity. Dad was the photographer AND the wise man.

My kids got Olivander wands for Christmas. Coolest. Gift. Ever.

First view of Christmas spoils.

Tamsyn was the first to notice our new TV.  It took them awhile.

She got a sleeping pad for when we go camping. She just stared at it and said, "I'm so confused..."

She was excited about the Settler expansion pack though.

Christmas carnage!

So glad my parents were able to come for Christmas. I loved every minute of having them here including shopping with my mom, picking out a chainsaw with my dad, enduring the bitter cold at Busch Gardens, pouring water down my moms back, working on endless puzzles, doing temple work and then sitting in traffic for 6 hours, eating my moms fudge and meatballs and making peanut brittle with my dad.  

Love my mom and dad!

Hollywood Cemetary

The Hollywood Cemetery is one of the coolest spots in RVA. This is a monument erected in honor of the 18,000 confederate soldiers buried in this cemetery.

All of these died within a few days of each other.

A Tiffany Window. 

Metro Richmond Zoo- Happiest place in Virginia

One of those fun, "I'll take a picture of you, taking a picture of me!" pictures.

I love this one. A monkey sucking it's thumb with my dad's reflection in the glass.

My next acquisition in the works. I want an Emu egg. 

RVA lights

I took my parents to go see the Christmas lights around town. They really decorate here, more than I have seen anywhere!

This house won a national award.

I took my parents to go see the live nativity at the Zoo. I love working at the zoo, and proud to be a part of the Miracle of Christmas

Want to know what I've been doing for the last month at work? THIS.

 And this.

 And this.

 And this.

 And this!

I love my job, and everyone I work with!
