The Circus

On Saturday we went to the circus for Alyssa's first trip. It was kind of bitter sweet b/c my brother's birthday was on Friday and when we were little we always went to the circus for his birthday. Since he is in Antartica (yes, I said Antartica) it was hard not having him with us. My parents bought tickets for all of us for part of Alyssa'a Christmas present. She had a blast. She kept telling us to look at everything and giggling. She was so funny. She liked everything but the way the elephants smelled (you will see below). We had a great time. I talked to Chad today and he will be home sometime at the end of the month so we are looking forward to that! Especially Alyssa. She tells him she misses him every time they talk. I know he won't admit it but one time I think he got choked up. I hope everyone is well. Have a good Valentine's Day!!!! Til next time!!!!!
