Happy New Year!!

We had a wonderful 2011 and are looking forward to an amazing 2012!

So how did we close out our 2011?

By going to the zoo, of course!

Here’s how it looked…

Flamingos! I wish you could hear how he says it — it’s adorable. It’s kind of “fa-mi-GOS!” Got that?

Helping a sheep eat a Christmas tree by pulling it into its face.

He was obsessed with this pig and kept oinking at it. He would run and pet a goat or sheep and then run back to the pig (who was sleeping), crouch down and oink at him. He’s the pig whisperer.

I’ve been trying to convince Tom to crawl through this tunnel for a year and this weekend was THE weekend. He did it!

His favorites — the naked mole rats. I remember when he didn’t have to lean to look at them. Because it was like…2 months ago.

On the train! Going through the tunnel. He loves this. LOVES.

He’s so cute on the train. He identifies everything — engine! tracks! tunnel! choo-choo! Adorable.

And this is Tom and I on New Year’s Eve night. Awesome pic, right? All you need to know is that we’re wild partiers! And we had a blast.

Hope you guys have a wonderful 2012! LOVE!
