Elves at Gardner Villiage & Zoo Lights

My sister and I took her kids and my kids to see the elves at Gardner Village during the Christmas break.  This is always a fun activity for the kids, to run around and get their pictures with the elves. And there is always a stop at the bakery for their yummy cinnamon swirl homemade bread. 

We then decided to go to lunch and let the kids play at Chick-fila. The kids wrote Santa a letter and put their letter in the north pole mailbox that chick-fila had provided. They thought that was pretty cool. 

That night Tim and I took the kids to dinner at Apollo Burger and then we went to see the zoo lights at Hogle zoo. We bundled up really warm and walked around the zoo seeing the beautiful Christmas lights and a few animals that were out..they had a drum bus that you could go into and make music. Allie and Mason loved doing that.
