Good times in Galveston
Great stay at Ellen's bed and breakfast, Gigi's 80th birthday party, day trip to Vicky's, making s'mores, flying helicopters, late night bingo, dance party at Gigi's, cousins playing, a belly dancer at dinner, and a fun time at Pleasure Pier.

Christmas Eve/morning
Oh, these kiddos have been pretty excited over here. Christmas Eve was fun, started with church at 3:30 and then to Nana's house for dinner and presents over there with their cousin Gabe. We came home and made Santa cookies and spread the reindeer food. The kids tried to sleep together but that didn't work out all that well.
Christmas morning they woke up at 5:15. Our tradition in our house is they must wait on the stairs for us to get the yearly picture. We got up and told them that was way too early and to go back to bed. Luckily they did (although mom did not) and by 7:00 we were in their rooms waking them up to tell them it was time to come down. We had our usual Christmas day brunch with sausage casserole, Stein's coffee cake, broiled tomatoes, fruit salad and mimosas. We hung out in our pi's all day long!

Brady made us this plate with his handprints. He was so excited to give it to us!
Just Dance 2014, the doll, and the siren cars were the biggest hit.

A's Christmas party
We decided last minute to leave for Dallas right after this party, so we were there but really thinking of all we needed to do to get out of there and pack ourselves quick!
Scott and Santa (i.e. Adam)
Addy loves her Mrs. Tice!
Shot this pic out front of the school waiting for Scott to come back and get us!
Christmas in Dallas
It was a quick trip, but it sure was a fun one! Highlight of the trip was having Mrs. Claus come to visit Mommo's house for sure, she was awesome. She sang, she did magic tricks, she had puppets, she was a good time!
It was also great to see the kids play with their cousins, nonstop. We ate great food at Mommo's and had a really nice hotel room at the Westin!

Trail of Lights
Trail of Lights was fun, and crowded, and long. Glad we did it but don't think we will ever go back!
Kids were great and weather was perfect. Best part was the restaurant we found on Barton Springs and the kids glow sticks they got there.
