celebrating Christmas at the Zoo

It's time for the annual Legat Christmas party. This is the third year they held it at Brookfield Zoo. It is so beautiful this time of year. You can still see a lot of the animals and the lights are nicely hung throughout. It was a cold day but at least it wasn't snowing this year. We went an hour early so that we could walk around. The kids had a blast.

Once we got to the party, we were served a buffet dinner. The food was very good and we even got Aubrey to eat some. (She rarely eats in places where there are other distractions). She wanted to eat my lettuce of all things. After dinner, Santa came to visit! Aubrey was grinning from ear to ear. Even Tyler lit up. Santa handed out some presents to the kids and afterwards posted for pictures. Aubrey was a little leery to sit on his lap, but Tyler had no fear.

A great time was had by all! Only 13 days until Christmas!
