Cookies with Santa

We took Evan to have cookies with Santa at The Louisville Zoo. It was a really fun morning. We began by making an ornament. We then had cookies. (This was probably Evan's favorite part of the morning!) Then we got to see Santa. Evan was not as scared of Santa as he was at the mall and even told Santa that he wanted a train for Christmas. Of course, I still had to sit with Evan when he talked to Santa and Evan did not smile in the pictures.

After we talked with Santa, we went on a little "safari." The zoo had several animals out of their exhibits. Evan even got to pet a few of them! We saw a reindeer, a penguin, a turtle, an owl, a lizard, a salamander, a snake, and a rabbit. Although it was raining and cold, Evan wanted to see a few more zoo animals. We saw the orangutans, giraffes, and gazelles.

Evan LOVED the cookie! (The black icing for the snowman's hat stained his lips though. You may notice Evan's "goth" look in later pictures!)



Seeing Santa!



The penguin was Evan's favorite animal on the safari. I am not surprised though. He always loves to watch the penguins swim in their exhibit when we go to the zoo.

The reindeer was Mommy's favorite animal!
