Trip to Perris, California...

Grandma & Grandpa wanted to take Lil'D to ride on a train. This is what they picked:

...you can't tell that Lil'D loves trains, can you...

...tickets, please...

...ready to ride the train with Grandma & Grandpa...

...taking a ride in the backseat...

...of a 1937 street car...

...maybe momma won't see me pick up this rock...

...my little engineer...

...daydreamin' while riding the streetcar...

...he's gonna be a GQ model one day...

...or at least on the cover of a magazine one day...

Taking down the tree...

Here is the photo before we took down the tree today:

It was so pretty this year!!! It was sad to take it down. But, I am very glad now that every thing Christmas is all packed away until next year.

We got bored and decided to go to Jungle Bells at the zoo. My niece Andrea went with us.

...Lil'D loves riding the buckets...

...Horton's Way...

...the new Elephant Odessey...

...Lil'D had churro all over his mouth...

...yee-haw, giddy up cat...

...we rode the train afterwards...

...this photo would have been perfect if it wasn't blurred...

...photoshop made it better...

Christmas day...

...somebody was a little overwhelmed...

He was using his new drill to open all the presents...

...treasure map...

...take along Thomas & Percy's Carnival Adventure...

...santa forgot to leave headphones for mom & dad...

...the drum set was by far Lil'Ds favorite of the day...

...at grandma & grandpa's house...

It was a beautiful Christmas day!
