The Day After Christmas...

So what do you do the day after Christmas? This year we decided to get out of the house and head to the zoo! It was a little chilly, but we bundled up and headed out.

Apparently, the monkeys aren't fans of the cold weather because most of them were not out playing. This little guy was happy to visit with us though, and Jackson loved checking him out with Pop's help.

While we were checking out the new African section of the zoo, Audrey got a chance to stretch her legs and get passed around.

We had a great time! There are more pictures of the fun in the album, but here's a rare family shot of the four of us at the end of the day.

Before leaving this morning, Pop got to spend a little quality time with Jackson and Audrey...

It was a great visit with Nana and Pop. We spent most of the day today after they left putting away all of our Christmas decorations and new toys. Jackson wasn't exactly excited to say goodbye to the Christmas tree and decorations. He helped take the ornaments off his little tree before nap time, but when the tree was gone after he woke up, he was a little upset. Fortunately, it was just outside, so being able to see it one more time, helped ease the transition. Now that everything is put away, the house almost feels empty. I feel this way every year. Then when the decorations come back out after Thanksgiving, I'm overwhelmed at how much we have. :-)
