The second try (no lost privilege for bad behavior as was the case Dec 2nd) worked out for The Festival of Lights at the Zoo. Because of the bitter cold and sketchy driving conditions, the zoo was nearly empty. It was a winter wonderland with snow covered trees. The Madcap Puppet Show featuring "Broccoli Nose" - named by Alex- was performed for a house of about 20. Daddy first saw this show three seasons ago (when Gigi was just 8 mos) and had been pining for it to return; it was well worth the wait! Done in blacklight, the puppeteers were all in black and could not be seen. The results were magical. The glee on Gigi's face (and Lily's) was the best birthday gift a mommy could have (with the exception of daddy's gift). On the carrousel, she chose the ostrich as usual. The talking tigers were a hit once again, and even sang "Happy Birthday" to mommy. The baby cheetahs have really gotten big. Gigi could have talked all night. A train ride finished off the evening at the zoo.
Because it was the last night to use Frisch's Halloween coupons, we had dinner at Big Boy - which is big fun with cousins. Genevieve enjoyed her usual: pancakes and piles of fruit.
