Wildlights and hair bows

Grace and I ventured to the Columbus Zoo last night to see the wildlights. I had heard about them but hadn’t made it to see them since I’ve lived in Columbus. All I can say is- wow! They were beautiful. I’m not sure who enjoyed it more, me or Grace! We had such a great time walking around looking at the lights and listening to the Christmas music. I’m hoping to make it back before the end of the season as we had so much fun!

Then tonight, the little girl who won’t let me brush her hair, let alone put a bow in it, kept bringing me hair bows (aka- “pretties”) to put in her hair. I think at one point we had 4 and a pony tail in. I managed to get a few pictures. I must bribe her a lot to take pictures for Grandma because she climbed on the rocker and said “picture, Grandma?”

Happy Holidays!

I’m sure I won’t post before Christmas so I wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Grace was posing in front of the tree again the other day. She wouldn’t take off the buckeye necklace- so I guess we are combining our two favorite things in these pictures- Christmas and the Buckeye’s!

This morning we went to COSI to play. It was rainy and chilly and I needed to get out of the house! What a difference a few months makes. We were there last around 2-3 months ago and this time Grace had so much fun running and climbing. She was much more involved in the activities and with the other kids. There also was a Dora the explorer exhibit that she loved even though she doesn’t know who Dora is.

 

She especially loved playing in this ambulance and medical play center. There was a button she could push to make the lights go. She played for a long time with the stethoscopes and the syringes. Maybe she is a future nurse like mama?? 

She had a great time being my little explorer!
