Post Thanksgiving Circus Visit

On the Friday after Thanksgiving we went to Ringling Bros and Barnum and Bailey Circus. It was amazing. Great for the kids and also great for us adults! We got there when the doors opened and as a result spent the hour on the circus floor watching some snippets of the acts.  Back at our seats, Auntie Colleen bought both kids light up toys and cotton candy while we watched Elephants, Camels, Strong Men, Tigers, Dogs, Tight-Rope-Walkers and even a lady getting shot out of a cannon for TWO HOURS!  Potty training Lillian did awesome - no accidents - though she was a little board during the last 15 minutes. Definitely something we will do again.

We were one of the first on the floor.

Lillian was not sure she liked this guy, but he tried.

There were so many things to see and we had front row seats!

Amazed face and Alan pointing something out to Simon. I think this was the opening act.

End of the day, with some crazy antsy kids.
Lillian was tackling Simon as we left. They had so much fun.

Funny face.

Weekend with Daddy

Lillian and Alan spent the weekend together - apparently talking on the phone. 

Vickie gave Lillian a fake phone in a real case for her birthday.
Lillian loves it!!
