FALL TO WINTER, WHAT A YEAR!!!

Well another trip to the Portland Zoo!

They just opened up the big cat section!

It is awesome, Madison had so much fun!

Crazy to think there is only a sheet of glass

between her and the momma lion!

We went to see the lighting of the tree and

Santa arrive in downtown Vancouver.

Madi's first encounter with an Elf!

Santa's ride was so great! Madi loves trains

so she thought that it was awesome!

Our trip to Redmond, WA!!!

I was able to take our little friend Ashley.

We stopped and had lunch at Rainforest cafe.

A first for both Madi and Ashley.

What a blast!

It was my little cousin Ericka's 8th birthday and

every year they do breakfast with Santa!

She wouldn't sit on his lap, maybe next year!
