Happy Thanksgiving plus a trip to the zoo

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We hosted dinner at our house this year and had a small gathering. There were 7 adults, 2 kids, and a baby so it was a good amount of people (though we did have tons of leftovers still!)

 Our Thanksgiving turkey. Yum yum!

 All the food (not counting dessert)

 Matt carving the turkey

 Liam's first Thanksgiving!

They ate all their food too!

 The Ling Family

 The Black Family. Isaac would NOT sit still at all :(

 Dessert! Apple pie, pumpkin pie, and cheesecake

Up close picture of the cheesecake I made all by myself :) 

On Saturday, we were going stir crazy so we tried to think of some place to go. We didn't want to go to any stores (due to Black Friday) so we decided to go to the zoo, figuring it wouldn't be busy. We were wrong! It was PACKED! We went to the D.C. Zoo and it was huge. Here are a few pics from our trip:

 The zoo has this thing called the "O-Line" where the orangoutangs can travel from two different buildings above the zoo on ropes. It's pretty neat actually! They are also building an Elephant trail where they can also travel from one side to the other as they please 
(though that wont be done until 2013 I think). 

 Checking out the tortoises

 The meerkats were running back and forth 
and Isaac was cracking up laughing

 Checking out the Elephants

We didn't even finish seeing all the exhibits before we got hungry and decided to leave (the lines at the food places were huge so we just left and had Chic-Fil-A instead. Yum!).

And here are  few pics from last night, of Isaac watching one of his shows:
 Don't worry, we only posed him like this 
for a picture then took the seat down.

Cracking up watching his show. 

That's all for now. We don't have much plans for the weekend. I think we're going to try and straighten up the baby's room at some point though :)
