Wild Lights at the Zoo - check. Winter Wonderland at Tilles Park - check. The Way of Lights at the Shrine in Belleville - check. Lots and lots of other random/homemade light displays - check. [We love Christmas lights and spirit and festivity...]
...And now, "Garden Glow" at the Botanical Gardens - check! My mom wanted to check it out [no pun intended] for our 2013 family Christmas outing, and it might've just topped the light list! We picked the coldest night of the week to tiptoe through the gardens, but it wasn't thaaaaaat bad bundled up in five layers! :)
Oh, and I missed a coat button for the Christmas card pic. #klassssssy

In addition to the five layers of clothing, I thought a little hot spiced [spiked] apple cider would warm us up nicely before we chattered our teeth off... Genius. And it was a great idea until we crossed the river and the sticky drink started dripping out the bottom of the disposable coffee cups..... Who knew that rum could eat through a wax lining?! ...Not me. Whoopsie!
Other week highlights:
-- Happy birthday, Grandma!
-- Happy birthday, Lindsey! [Sorry the blizzard kept us from celebrating you in STL! We owe you a frilly birthday drink!]
-- Counting down the HOURS now until the Arizona departure.....
