Mimi's house

We traveled to Mimi and Papa's house on Sunday to cut down on the travel time for Kendall's surgery the next morning. Alley was overly excited about coming to Mimi's house. She didn't care that the reason we were going was for her sister to have surgery. Nope, Alley didn't care one bit, she was just ecstatic to be going. There are several reason she loves going to Mimi and Papa's house, which include playing up at "Papa's church", the delicious food she gets to eat, all the toys that seem so different to her (that's because they don't make toys like that anymore honey, it's called toys that are over 20-30 years old!), and the cats (lord save the cats!). But, the two things she loves the most and talks the most about are Papa's trains and Mimi's books. My daughter loves trains...now she loves dolls and dress-up and shopping, but she loves trains.

"THE" train set - look how excited she is!

wow, now that's some determination and focus:)

and her second love, books...especially Mimi reading her the books.

Alley was trying to look into the other end of the camera while I was taking pictures...all the while saying, "momma I see you"

It was a successful trip, lots of books were read and the trains did not get a break. So for Alley, it was a lovely trip...don't ask Kendall how her visit went;)

For Mimi, it was a lovely visit, too! Mimi and Papa always love visits from little ones.
