Visit to the Zoo

The day after Thanksgiving the kids and I along with Steven, Kara, Emma, and my parents headed to the zoo.  It was just a little chilly, but not too bad.  We had a great day hanging out.

Thanksgiving 2012

We had such a GREAT Thanksgiving, besides Ben having to sleep through most of it. He did get up and enjoy lunch with us, and stayed up a while to visit. Then, it was back to bed for him because he had to be at work at 6pm to prepare for their 9:00 opening. We had lunch at our house, with my family including both my brothers and their families, my parents, my grandma and my great-aunt. Ben's parents, along with Matt and his family also joined us. It was so much fun hanging out with everyone (and eating some YUMMY food). The kids are all at such FUN ages, and I got so much enjoyment out of watching all of them play and interact together. It was definitely a wonderful day and I am so BLESSED!!
