ZOO LIGHTS!
When Elle came home for the girls NY trip we managed an evening at the Columbus Zoo!
It was Colleen's boyfriend Tommy's first time at the zoo which amazed me. I had to keep saying oh you have to see the polar bars, and the monster bats, and the aquarium and the manatees and the elephants and the.....

STOCKING TIME...
CHRISTMAS AT HOME
Elle was not able to make it home this year for Christmas. It was a bit of a struggle for me to have her that far away especially knowing her roomate was going back to Virginia and she would be all alone. What a blessing skype was...Christmas Eve we connected with her and she spent the night on Colleens ipad in the living room joining in on the fun and games, teasing, enjoying the puppy and lots of laughter. Christmas morning we followed our tradition of opening stockings with Granny and once again Elle joined us via skype. I had mailed her stocking package and present package separately and she received her stocking package but not her present one. It really made me sad and I prayed at Mass Christmas morning to help me offer that up. I also said a little prayer that somehow she would get that package at just the right time. Well a little Christmas miracle occured and a knock on the door Christmas morning was a neighbor who had received the package by mistake the day before! So Christmas day we came home and our four blessings opened their presents together. Thank you God for coming to us as a baby and thank you God for answering prayers!
