Happy Thanksgiving!!

Five year anniversary of our first day home from Vietnam! We went over to Katie, Jacky and Jim's house for dinner with Jim's parents Miranda and Don, as well as Luke who is Jacky's nephew. No one wanted their picture taken- which I can understand. I don't like to have my photo taken either. We watched the Macy's Thanksgiving parade and some other Disney shows all day. It was Don's birthday, so it was a Thanksgiving/Birthday party. We had more cakes and pies than we had people!! Jim, his mom Miranda, Jazz and Katie. These little girls didn't really eat anything except for chocolate turkey (one each), birthday cake, and some hot chocolate! Outside riding their Razors. We had a really fun day:)

ZooLights....

We go to ZooLights every year. It was a good night to go- "members only" week, so there were not the massive crowds of people. Plus, there were almost twice the number of exhibits. It was really nice in past years, but even more impressive this year. It was 60 degrees, but Jasmine insisted on wearing her coat and hat:). Then she told Santa that she wanted a "Magic Kit"- which I had heard before. Jasmine said, "Now I KNOW I'm going to get a magic kit". I thought I had the Christmas shopping done, but no...now I have to find a Magic Kit:)) The biggest attraction for the kids is "Jenga the talking giraffe". He is a slightly sarcastic funny giraffe that talks to people. I'm not sure where the guy doing the talking is hiding, but he can see everyone. He makes fun of people's pants, their hat or hair, tells goofy jokes, and just talks back and forth with the kids. Really pretty cactus forest.
