We hope that everyone had a great Christmas. We had an excellent Christmas and we hope that you enjoy reading about it on this blog.
Christmas Eve came and we were all set for Santa. The only thing left to do was read Oliver his bedtime stories. Another new tradition is Keith likes to read The Night Before Christmas to Oliver on Christmas Eve.
I'm not so sure that he is buying into this story.
The finishing touch, to bring out the rocking horse from Grandma and Grandpa Garner.
Christmas morning, Oliver looked ready in his Christmas PJ's. However, he wasn't so sure about the horse by the tree though. It took him a while to warm up to it.
AH... Mama LOVES gifts from JF Options! A new bracelet and necklace this year!!
Oliver talking to the horse, but still warming up.
Oliver checking out a new book.
Tearing into the paper...
Doodling on his Aqua Doodle. The best invention ever! 
Oliver received this snoopy from the neighbor girl, Aimee. He LOVES it and cuddled it the second he saw it. He was quite cute. 
Oliver checking to see if there is something exiting in the bag.
Keith, surprised with his new Blue Angle Citizen Eco Drive watch.
AH.... Being the cutest kid ever on Christmas Morning is very hard work.

Christmas Day, the Sanderson family with Phil, Shawna, Abigail and Ian came down from Fort Collins so that we could have dinner and then go to the zoo. They have Zoo Lights at night, which is a big Christmas Light display. If we were there by 4:00 we could use our zoo passes and not pay. If we got there later, they would re-open the gates at 5:00 and we would have to pay for zoo lights. We literally got in right as they were closing the gates at 4:00. Notice the gates are closed in the back ground. It was also a beautiful warm day in the 50's. What a great way to work off dinner and get some fresh air on Christmas!
Keith and Oliver scoping out the lions, tigers and bears... oh my!
These sea lions cracked me up with their pose. I think they had been sunning themselves in the evening sun. We got to them just as the sun was going down. They sat like this the whole time were were at their exhibit.
Ian riding along in the backpack. 
I bet this bear was exited for winter. This is also the place that we notices that Oliver can say "bear" and grrr!! All of Keith's bear hunting talk is coming to fruition.

This isn't a great example of Oliver saying "bear", but it is an example.
One of the light displays. It was tough to capture so we didn't take many photos.
