Oh my how this month has flown by, it's nearly Christmas! Here is a recap of some of my holiday festivities thus far.
 |
| Mimosas in the afternoon during Thanksgiving dinner preparation |
 |
| Our feast: Mushroom gravy, mashed potatoes, Hawaiian sweet rolls, cranberry sauce, Tofurkey with veggies, sweet corn, and of course, wine! |
 |
| Hubby diggin' in |
 |
| Sweet Potato Pie |
Later on in the week we drove down to the Cincinnati Zoo's Festival of lights, it was so darling!! This is my (gulp) FIFTH Christmas in Cinci and I had never made it to the zoo lights before.
 |
| Hubby was excited |
 |
| Here is one of the mountain lions... Here Kitty, Kitty! |
 |
| Friendly little fellow, isn't he?! |
 |
| I really do have a way with animals, don't I :) For those of you that haven't realized it yet, there is a glass panel separating the large cat from my grabby little hands. |
 |
| The park really was wonderful in the dark. It did the trick to put me in the Christmas spirit. We sipped on hot cocoa (with a dash of Kahlua and Peppermint Schnapps) as we walked around. |
 |
| A bit of holiday kitsch... flamingoes! |
 |
| This section of the park was all decorated in purple and pink lights, it was delightfully girlish. |
After the zoo we came home to add some holiday decor (or as I like to call it, Holi-decor) to our own apartment.
 |
| Clearly I did most of the work |
 |
| White Christmas was playing in the background |
 |
| Here's the final product. Even the Tiki bar got some lights this year :) |

What are you doing to enjoy the holiday season? Baking cookies, sipping eggnog, night time light walks??
Sounds like a wonderful Christmas season so far!
ReplyDeleteVisiting a zoo during Dec is so much fun!
Your apartment looks so festive! The lights on the tiki bar really add to the holiday decorations!
