Railroad Park

We went to the railroad park and had lots of fun! Ryan loved riding on the train, carousel, and enjoyed the playground. She now says "whee" when she goes down the slide. Too cute.

Naughty or Nice?

As you can see in this picture, Ryan was thrilled to see Santa Claus!

Holiday Lights @ Train Park

We went to "Holiday Lights" at the Railroad Park last night. The line for the train was 1 hour (grrr) so we went on the small steamer and rode the carousel a few times instead. Ryan loved looking at the lights and even said"oh,wow" when we went through a lighted tunnel. That was the first time we heard her say that! She had a lot of fun!

Christmas Tree shopping

We went to pick out our Christmas tree this weekend, yay! Ryan has this odd obsession with smelling everything, so of course she had to smell all of the trees to decide which one was best.

Step Out, Step Up: It's a Wrap!

My friend Kim & I volunteered at the mall wrapping presents for charity. It was a lot of fun, even though I'm pretty sure we were the worst gift wrappers in history. For more info and pictures from the event, check out Kim's blog.

Petting Zoo

We have been members of the Phoenix Zoo for over a year and just found out that they have a petting zoo!Ryan was so excited that she actually got to pet the animals this time (she usually tries to scale the fence to jump in the animal exhibits at the zoo). Ryan had a great time and ran after the goats yelling "soft, soft".

Belated Thanksgiving post

With the chaos of the E.R. trip, I forgot to post about Thanksgiving. Steve, Alma & Sydney came out from CA and we had a great Thanksgiving weekend. The girls had a lot of fun playing together and they both loved eating yummy mashed potatoes & creamed corn. I can't find our pictures, but you can check out Sydney's blog for more info & pics. We miss you Erwin's!
