Christmas fun in Tucson

We went to see Zoo Lights last week as a family.  It was all lit up and even Santa Claus was there.  Unfortunately, it just so happened we went on a night that was raining, which is pretty rare for Tucson.  As we stood in the rain for 20 minutes waiting for Aria and Zade's turn to see him, we began to wonder what in the world we were doing.  Oh well, it made the kids happy.

A few days later we went to our ward's Christmas party and enjoyed the various delicious soups everyone brought.  (They were way better than what you can get at Sweet Tomatoes).  :)  Here's the crew making ginderbread houses at the end.  I'm sure more toppings made it into our tummies than onto the house.

Yesterday we went to Winterhaven again and enjoyed looking at the Christmas lights.  We ran into Ben Hoffman and his family and had fun wandering around the area with them.  Below is a pic of how the kids bundled up to stay warm (although it was only 50 degrees).  :)  We loved the get up that Zade put on:

Below is a short video clip of our favorite house in Winterhaven, which we refer to as the Bellagio.
