Zoo in Winter = Fun!

We had a studpendous day at the zoo this week!

Even though it is winter... it was a balmy 38 and

sunny in Nebraska the day of our zoo trip.

All of the indoor exhibits had heat... it was not

crowded, and super fun to get out and about!

This was the crew we went with... what a
great great group of awesome kiddos and friends!
4 adults... 9 little ones... not bad!


The baby tiger got so big in the last month...

So did the baby "ah ah"! A.K.A baby gorilla!

Pizza and Bananas!

William just discovered pizza this week...

and low and behold, our picky eater... loves pizza!

But... Mallory has always been a big banana fan!

She loves her fruit and vegetables!

Cousin's Christmas!

All the cousins were enjoying a game of Wii...

and each other's company!

I like this picture of Mike with Ryan,

and our Goddaughter, Emma!

Here is Mallory with her Godfather, Uncle Jim.

I think it's funny to see Mallory's pockets full

of play doctor things... don't worry, we don't

let Mallory play with scissors. :)

Emma and Erin... Cutie pies!

Madison is a kind helper... Michael always is too!

Christmas Day 2010!

This was a most TERRIFIC, AMAZING,

WONDERFUL Christmas! Each minute, each day,

each year gets more and more fun!

(I still want them to stay little forever though...)

With that said, we had a blessed and most memorable

Christmas! We will always cherish these special moments!

Santa brought Mallory and William an Aquadoodle
to share, a Thomas the Train set for William,
a baby and baby assessories for Mallory...
and a Vtech learn and bounce turtle for them
both! They sure thought this was an exciting morning!

Christmas Eve with the Herrley's!

I think our Herrley family picture is too cute...

"Yey family!!!!!!!!"

"Yeh family" has been our traditional phrase

since many years ago. I'm pretty sure I started

chanting it at one of our family functions back

in the 80's. It stuck... so did my hair-do! ;)

We seriously just ADORE our Herrley family!

I love to see my mom with some of her nieces

and nephews. She loves to tell them stories about

her grandkids. She is such a PROUD Grandma!

Our toddlers love to show off in front of guests!
William loves to go way back by the wall... and say...
Ready... Set... Go... Then, he dives into the ball pit!

Travis would say - Give me all your money...

Mallory kept laughing and laughing.

After Mallory and William went to bed,

we played Catch Phrase and Scene It!
It was a super blast of an evening!

Great memories... Great times!
