More holiday fun

We actually skipped two opportunities last night, the season debuts of Millenium Park's Caroling at Cloud Gate and Lincoln Park Zoo's Zoo Lights, even though Mom didn't have to work until almost bedtime.

But Dad and the kids corrected that on this unseasonably beautiful November evening, which brought out the largest crowd we've seen at the zoo.

So here is Zoo Lights, including that snowman who now looks more in his element.







On the way home, we stopped at More - our decadent neighborhood cupcake shop - because Levynn spotted her buddy, More's owner, through the window. She has red hair and has stated repeatedly that she wants to trade one of her kids for Levynn. Well, she met Lincoln for the first time tonight and now wants to trade two of her kids. So can you guess what we took home, free of charge?
