Christmas With St. Nick

Okay it's not Saint Nick...it's just Nick. We seemed to have developed a couple of fun Christmas traditions that involve Nick and his family. Delightful.


First stop is the zoo for a photo on the fake Christmas train.  Maya and Nick did ride on the actual moving train on their own.


No trip to the San Francisco zoo is complete without seeing the grizzly bear's morning hunt for live fish.


Laura never fails to mention that bears love fish, apples and small children.


Two days later we found ourselves at the now annual trip to BADM to make gingerbread houses.



Construction begins.


Two candy cane chimneys.


Nick's finished masterpiece.


Their excitement is partially due to the fun of constructing a house out of candy and partially due to ingesting the construction materials.
