Every year at Christmas time, Cargill rents out the local theater for employee's and their families. Today we got to go see the new Chipmunks movie...what fun! We try to keep seeing movies a special treat, so we don't go on a regular basis. Needless to say, they were BOTH very excited. It was a cute movie...Chris and I both remember this song from when we were little.
After the movie, Santa was waiting in the lobby for everyone. While waiting in line Tony turned to ask me, a bit panicked "What should I tell him my name is???" The guy behind me really got a chuckle out of that. The kids got to chat with the jolly old guy and tell him what they wanted for Christmas, we'll see if they've been naughty or nice in just 9 days!
Friday night we went into Omaha with some friends to see the annual Zoo Lights. Livie really wanted me to post this picture on our blog, even though it didn't turn out very well. We got the times wrong and arrived at the zoo 20 minutes before they shut it down. We were literally the only people in the aquarium and it was a rare opportunity for Liv to get close to her ABSOLUTE FAVORITE animal in the whole world...the majestic sea turtle. Sorry no pictures of the lights...it was too dang COLD to take off my mittens outside. Use your imagination. :) I won't say what the temperature was, because there would be a collective groan from up north as they all declare it was a heatwave compared to up there!
