Galveston




We loved hanging out with the statues at the train museum.

Addy got this scarf and this hat and wore them all weekend long.

It's been a really tough day...

We love chocolate and big bears sitting in the street!

This military store was so cool, we tried on so many hats.  

He just couldn't shop anymore.

Had to take care of all those fires in Galveston.

We could have done this all day long!

Oh my...such a fun game.  Got to get these dice!

Addy had a ball...and Vicky taught her a lot this evening!

Scott loves his GiGi!

This is Brady in Walgreens.  He wouldn't let go of this helicopter.

Kevin and Scott had a grand idea to go on this boat with the kids.  They got stuck.  Cause Brady let go of the rope into the boat and Kevin had to go get the rope under the boat.  Addy had to pee really bad and that's all we could hear on land.


Taking a minute to chill and enjoy the awesome scenery at Vicky's beach house.
Vicky took the kids to the beach in the golf cart.  I waited in the street to get this photo cause they looked so cute all bundled up.

A view of the beach from the stop light.

After our fun outing in Galveston, we went to the Woodlands to visit Erin and Marcy.  How cute is E?? She is due in February.


This is their pimp out backyard.
Hanging out with baby Ferris

 
The whole crew!
Cutey patooty 

Addy has worn this hat, just like this, everyday since she got it.

A very merry Christmas






Addy loved having time with her cousins

And Brady loves having an uncle in the toy business that hooked him up!


Christmas Eve- church, chili and tamales
 

Annual shot in their pj's, thank you Mommo!

Brady was sneaking Santa's cookies away and eating them.

Can you hear Brady making the truck noises?

A Fireman Christmas

Why not drive it all through the house?

A little Dallas and a little Frisco!

Oh what fun...



The cousins were together again

Sweet Ali and Tessa

We love presents in our PJ's

Addy and D had a "water" stand.  They made $1.00 on selling water in a cup.

Lunch at Ra, well appetizers before lunch at Coal Vines!

MaMa taking care of Bubba all night at Mommo's
