We traveled to Birmingham this weekend for Christmas with Poppy & Cissy. As always, Poppy had quite a few toys and activities planned. Miller loved the train that Poppy has around his Christmas tree and spent a lot of time turning it off and on.
Saturday morning, Santa made a special trip to see Miller and bring him a couple of gifts.
After Santa came, Miller played with Poppy & Cissy so that Bryant and I could go shopping and have lunch. It was such a treat to have a quiet lunch out!
That night we all went to the Zoolight Safari. The weather changed on me and I didn't pack accordingly. I think Miller was the only child who wasn't bundled up appropriately. I felt so bad, but he didn't seem to mind.
Snow! {Man-made of course - it wasn't that cold}
Miller wanted to touch every. single. light. In the whole zoo.
We made the mistake of mentioning the train at the zoo. It was all Miller could talk about all afternoon. After quite a bit of line-waiting, we finally boarded.
It really was a nice ride, complete with a bell from Santa along the way. Miller loved it. However, I am not exaggerating when I say that the second the train stopped, Miller started chanting "carousel". So that's exactly where we headed next.
We could have stayed for hours there was so much to do, but we had to get the little man home for dinner and bedtime. He had a rough weekend sleep-wise. The next morning we exchanged gifts with everyone.
Bryant got these little finger flashlights in his stocking and they were a big hit with Miller Man. He wore them around all morning.
Brad and Lauren got Miller this Thomas train to play in and he was so excited! It folds up really easily and will be awesome to pull out on rainy days.
This is hysterical. Remember when I said we should have just given him a box of leaves? Well, that's exactly what Uncle Brad did. Miller was soooooo excited! Honestly. Out of all the gifts he received, this one got the biggest reaction. It was so funny!
After the excitement of the leaves had worn off, we all got dressed to play outside awhile before we drove home. I caught this shot of Miller and Bryant and just thought it was too precious not to share.
He is ALL boy!!! The leaves crack me up.
