Christmas Card Photo Shoot

We decided to do matching pajamas for our Christmas card this year.  After our visit with Santa, Mackenzie asked to sleep in her new pajamas every night.  And every night after she put them on she would ask,"Can we go see Santa?"


This was the first time we did a gingerbread house with the kids.  Mackenzie ate the candy right out of the white bowls.  Cole ate the candy as soon as someone put it on the house.



This picture is posed, but so cute. 

First time with hot cocoa too!  Of course I had to the get extra mugs.  They were great for the photo and will make great decorations next year. 



Good till the last drop!


Rooster Cogburn's Ostrich Farm

Every time we visit Granddad and Grandma Fiore in Tucson we pass by Rooster Cogburn's Ostrich.  This time we finally stopped.  It was $5 for adults and the kids were free.  For your $5 entrance fee, you get feed and a little container of green juice for the lorikeets.

We fed miniature donkeys, deer and goats.
For some reason they had goats up on a scissor lift.  You had to put the food in these little yellow containers on a belt and crank the food up them. 


Jim got a kick out the "Hole in the Wall Gang".

Ostriches are known to bite, but Jim still wanted to feed them by hand.

As soon as we walked into the aviary Jim was "attacked" by the lorikeets.  They were hungry and he had the food.
