New Years Eve

We rang in the New Year with one last trip to the Festival of Lights.  We did not get there nearly as much as I had hoped to this year.  The zoo really outdid themselves this year.  It was beautiful and we are looking forward to next year when Keaton will be a little older and able to stay up a bit later as well. 
This trip also served as Linda's first trip to see the Festival.  We sat eating snacks and watching the light show on the lake.

This is about as close as it is possible to get her to a character these days.  She is fascinated with them but does not want to get up too close.
