New Years Day!

Shew...as promised the little camera was in the car.  We convinced Daddy to take us to the Washington DC Zoo.  Yesterday we read about Pandas eating bamboo and saw a "Wond*r P*ts" episode on Pandas so to the zoo we went.  It was a perfect day.  It was about 65 degrees which is unheard of for middle of winter DC weather.  So here of pictures from New Years Day 2012 and from last night getting ready for the party and at the party.

 Let's go to a party Daddy!

 She has been carrying her purse around with her everywhere inside are her "Yip Sticks" aka Lip Sticks.  Princess chapsticks that she loves.

 Eliza with her beloved lolli.  Thanks Am!

 The crew!

 Her and her best buddy since she came home, Zack!!!!!  She LOVES this boy!

 Pushing her buddy, Voilet around with her favorite balloon.  She has an eclectic stash in the purse,  balloon from Nordstrom Kids shoes, Yipsticks, and some convenient candies, mostly "M's" as she calls them.

 Decked out for the zoo, in her best Momma Tom wear.  We are trying to start a shower cap fad.

First Sight at the Zoo

 LOVE THIS GIRL!!!!

 We waited at the Panda Palace.  They were in seperate cages, pacing back and forth trying to get it to feed.  Then Mai Xiang (the girl Panda) surprised us as we were leaving.  She came towards us, as if to say, Eliza I know you are a Marching Panda too.  I know you waited a long time to see me (six plus years) she gave us a show.  Climbing up the tree, the tree swaying back and forth, it was amazing to see her get her 100 pound plus body up there.

 Sit in the Y.

 Make it to the next level.

 Then scurry back down.  As if to say, Eliza you were worth the wait so here is your show.  Richard and I were inspired.  So for all you Marching Pandas out there.  All you girls (and boys) are WORTH THE WAIT!!!!

 We got to see all of the animals (ani mools as Eliza says) that she was asking to see.
