Zoo Lights!

Merry Christmas! I hope you're having a wonderful time with family and friends celebrating. I'm spending the next few days at my parents house, off from work, and I couldn't be happier about it. As cold as it is, it really is one of the most wonderful times of the year.

Every year for the past few years Brian and I have gone to see the Lincoln Park zoo lights and then gone to dinner to the same restaurant for chili and burgers. I look forward to it every year, and this year he told me to make sure we squeeze it in. So it's a mutual priority. I don't know much about relationships, but I feel things like this are important, no? We invited our siblings to join us, but my brother was sick, so we only got the Hayes girls. And there was some sort of electricity problem, so the majority of the lights were out and technicians everywhere. Still, it was a great time.

 

^^ The biggest hit each year. Fruit stripe gum, right?

 

 

 
 
 

I think the lights are on for a few more weeks, and I can't recommend going enough. Just be sure to wear layers. And then more layers. And, again, have a wonderful day today with those you love :-)
