2013 treated us well. I can't wait to see what the new year has to bring.

animal lovers.

continuing on with our weekend adventure, we hit up the zoo.
as you can imagine liv was in heaven. that girl and her love for animals.
its been so long since i've been to the zoo, it was quite the experience!

we were piratically the only ones there that day, so we had the animals all to ourselves.
the lions were my personal favorite. those things are HUGE.
the polar bear was also a hit. she was doing some swimming and coming right up to the glass.
the monkeys & elephants for also a fam favorites. 

fun day at the ZOO. 

our family enjoyed a weekend in salt lake a couple weeks ago.
the aggies played byu at energy solutions & we were able to get tickets. it was livs first game.
she was quite the fan. the "scottsman" was her favorite cheer. she clapped and cheered them on.
she danced and even loved getting her picture taken with mom & dad :)
there's nothing like the atmosphere of a basketball game and aggie fans!  

we also walked around temple square. the spirit there around Christmas is magical.
as i'm bundled up, holding B's hand, i'm especially reminded of the all the blessings i have.
and always, the true meaning we celebrate Christmas.
i love this holiday!
