:first white Christmas:

just got back from washington.
lots of photos, but here are a few from our snowy Christmas!

:the animals:

i keep forgetting to post these photos from the wild animal park. i took chloe up there a couple weeks ago, and it was so cool. since i was by myself with her, we didn't stay super long, but we at least got to do the tram ride and pet some big deer. that's a lot different then petting goats at the zoo!

here she is:

:december nights:

we took the bus to balboa park's december nights. it's said that around 300,000 people came, which meant that driving the 2 miles there just wasn't an option.

chloe loved the bus. we loved not being behind the wheel.

here she is:

last weekend, on the 28th, chloe pooped in the toilet for the first time. it hasn't happened since, but we know there is hope...and we couldn't be happier.

here are some shots from the monumental moment. unfortunately, one of the nuggets missed the pot. better luck next time!
