Thanksgiving & ABQ Zoo

THANKSGIVING:
For Thanksgiving, my sister Laura drove a ton of hours from CA to visit us! Here we are [below] with Avery in Santa Fe. This was the first Thanksgiving that we invited other families to join us for dinner (and games)- the Leiknesses and the Baumans. It was a lovely holiday.


ABQ ZOO:
In early December, Brian was gone to the UK on business and on his return trip we got to stay as a family in Albuquerque overnight. Before his plane arrived, I took the girls to ABQ Jump and McDonalds. They enjoyed McD's the best I think ;-)



 The next day we went to the Zoo as a family for the first time. It was a beautiful and surprisingly warm day for December! Too bad we forgot the strollers... everyone got a workout because of it (either us carrying or them walking). Avery's favorite animals were the elephants, zebras, and giraffes; Aspen liked feeding the ducks (but not getting bit by one!). I loved the gorillas and monkeys; Brian loved the Lion whom we saw ROAR! We also took a little joy ride on the zoo train. :)
