The Lights Before Christmas

Well, this was a great day! I got up and played with Mom for a little while. Then we got ready and she took me to see Mrs. Leigh Ann. She let me stay there for a little while so she could get some stuff done. (It might have been secret Christmas stuff!!)

After Mom and I came home, we had some visitors! Mr. Harry, Mrs. Hope, Will, and John came to my house! They came by to get John's birthday cake. (Happy Birthday, John! Nice to meet you!) It was so fun to play with everyone. AND they brought me Christmas presents!! They gave me a puppy that talks and sings and a book with lots of stories! Mom will read the stories to me later.


Oh, how I love this puppy!


She is a great new friend! Thank you so much, Mr. Harry, Mrs. Hope, Will, and John!!


After our visitors left, Mom and I got ready for a big adventure. We were going to the zoo!!!

Wait. What is a zoo?!? Well, according to Mom, it is a wonderful place where lots and lots of animals live. But she said that I wouldn't get to see many animals this time because they would be night night. I was very confused about why we were going to a place where we couldn't see any animals, but I was sure Mom had a plan.


We met Grandmom, Granddad, Uncle Corey, Aunt Meredith, Colin, and Brenna and headed to this zoo place. It was a long car ride. I took a nap.

After we got there, I understood why we were there. Christmas lights!! Lots and lots of Christmas lights!! It was very sparkly and pretty!

We walked around a lot. Even though I had my stroller, Mom carried me so I could see. I got to sit on this baby elephant. It was cold though, and I didn't like it very much. Mom said we'll do better in the spring when we go back to see the animals.


Look! Elephant lights!!


Over by the farm animals, there were lights that looked like pigs!!


Mom really wanted these elephant lights. She thought they would look pretty at our house. :)


We sat with Brenna on this tiger. Ordinarily, I am not tolerant of tigers, but this one seemed ok. It was still and I think we subdued it when we sat on it.


We sat on this monkey fellow too. I think Brenna was trying to be a monkey. :)


I saw some real flamingos. They were very loud and kind of stinky. But they were just like Pinky! It was exciting! Then we sat on this lion. Somebody else's camera has a picture of the whole lion on it. This is just us, but I promise we were sitting on a big lion.


I had a fun time looking at the lights at the zoo. Everything was very pretty. There was even snow falling from the sky! (Mom said it wasn't real snow, but I thought it added a nice touch.)

I can't wait to go back to the zoo when the animals are awake! It seems like a super fun place!!
