We decided that we had to ring in the first day of the New Year. So we bundled Ella up in several layers, hat, scarf, mittens, etc. and headed out. You can see from the photos that she was not too happy during the process of getting layered with clothing. She gave a good fight. But once we arrived and got out of the car, she did well.

Each year, they have Zoo Lights at the Denver Zoo. We’ve never attended in all these years of living here. So although it was very crowded and bitter cold (25 degrees), we went for it! Ella did enjoy looking at all the lights and strolling around. She is not used to being bundled especially with mittens on her hands, so she held her arms straight out while riding around in the stroller. It looked pretty funny.
