Our favorite moments of Christmas break included family, warm weather, sunshine and feeding fish and swans and ducks.
Grace took this picture of me and Steve. I love her reflection in Steve's sunglasses. We had fun on the boat with Dad, Tanner and Grace. The weather was sunny and the swans followed us all over the lake. Tanner loved feeding the swans. He would throw out a piece of bread to them and then shove a piece into his own mouth. 
While we were in Birmingham, we went to the "Zoo Lights" It is often TOO COLD to go to the zoo lights in Columbus - so we thought it would be awesome in the warm weather. When we first went to the zoo lights in columbus - we kind of laughed because the lights pale in comparison to temple square in Salt Lake City. Well, the lights at the Birmingham Zoo were about as amazing as the ones in our neighborhood. And I wouldn't pay to see the ones in our neighborhood. But at least it was warm. 
The day after Christmas we drove to Birmingham. Tanner is the only child we have that has annoyingly said, "Are we there yet?" In about the 8th hour of our drive he started to yell, "This is taking forever!" On our drive home - he started saying this about 30 minutes into our trip. The day after our trip - I took him to the grocery store. In aisle 2 he started to say, "this is taking forever!" Forever around here is getting shorter and shorter.
Christmas morning we had to wake up Tanner to go down to the tree. We had a fun morning and spent the whole day with just our family.

I wish it was warm enough here to be on a boat! It's nice to see that your nativity scene survived the holiday. I wasn't sure how well toilet paper rolls would hold up :)
