Christmas Excitement!

Tonight we went to the Lincoln Park Zoo, where they are decorated for Christmas. It was a beautiful night, and the lights were wonderful! We discovered upon arriving that Santa was receiving visitors in the Lion House, which was exciting. Unfortunately, we may have cut our Santa visit a little too close to bedtime...



In case anyone was wondering where Katie got those beautiful blue eyes... (click on the picture to make it bigger)

Inside the Lions House, there was a little Santas Village set up. Katie's favorite part was the dog, which she really wanted to climb in and pat.






Then it was our turn to meet Santa. Katie has gotten very proficient over the past week, at answering the question "What does Santa say?" with "HO HO HO!!" But she mostly just stared at this strange man in the red suit.


A picture with Mom and Santa is okay, but not as fun as looking at the dog in Santa's village. Also, it turns out that Santa is a skinny guy with an English accent.




Then it was time to sit on Santa's lap! Hmm. Like we said, perhaps a bit close to bedtime. Who IS THIS GUY? GET ME OUT OF HERE! (But look at those cute new winter boots Katie has)



Last, Moose and Caroline got Indy a very nice Christmas gift, which she's enjoying a lot more than Katie enjoyed meeting Santa.
