Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!

Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My! And don't forget the Giraffes, Zebras, Elephants, Rhinos and Monkeys too. Today my mom and I took the girls to the Phoenix Zoo and had so much fun walking around and seeing all the birds, reptiles and other animals. We were there for over 4 hours and still didn't get to see everything, so we might have to visit again next time we are here.

We have had a fun first week here at Grandma and Papa's house. Its been filled with swimming, playing with all of Grandma's toys, taking walks, going to craft fairs and shopping. Everytime we go somewhere people give the girls things, like at one craft fair the girls were given homemade hats and ornaments and at McDonalds they get extra toys. They sure like to see little girls here in a place where everyone is a Grandma or Grandpa.
Tomorrow we are heading to California to take the girls to Disneyland and to the beach. We are also very excited to get to visit Natalie and Gavin (Sister-in-law and Brother-in-law) and hopefully check out their new house.

Decorating cookies! The National Christmas tree for the white house came from Arizona and so they had a little party where we could see the tree before it was taken across country to Washington D.C. We meet my friend Julie and her little boy Coleman for a fun morning out.
