Zoo Day

For our niece Lillie's 2nd birthday Matt and I had talked about what we wanted to give her as a gift from us. This little girl has so many toys and books and clothes, so being the practical people that we are we thought of trying something different. 

Matt and I decided that we would give her a gift along the same idea of what we give each other: the gift of spending time together. And because we both love our uncles and aunts so much, we really want Lillie to grow up knowing us and loving us as much as we love her. 

So this year our gift to Lille (and her parents lol) was to take her (on our own) for the afternoon. Because she loves animals so much we decided to take her to the zoo.

(disclaimer: all these photos were taken with my phone)

On the drive to the zoo all she would talk about was the monkeys. Monkeys! Monkeys! Monkeys! 

So of course our first stop was to see the monkeys!

She got a little confused between giraffes and zebras, haha 

She LOVES her uncle Matt and I just love how she wrapped her little hand around his finger all day, so sweet!

So incredibly tired. Isn't she just the cutest little girl?!?
