Moody Gardens

We were able to meet up with our friends Jammie, Avery, Madison & James at Moody Gardens in Galveston. The kids had a great time & were so happy to see each other!

Giant sea turtle! This was bigger than JT!!

I think we need one of these at home - HAHA

J likes the eel

On the way home...must have been exhausted because we have never seen him suck his thumb!

Christmas morning - still unwilling to pose with his sister!

Excited much?

The coveted Zhu Zhu Pets!!!

Loving his new tool bench!

Vava grabbed his present and ran!

No morning is complete without The Wiggles!

But now he has a fancy chair to watch them in!

"Isn't this cool Dad?"

Christmas Eve

The kids all ready for bed

Lily couldn't WAIT to go to bed...as soon as we got home from church (at 7pm!) she ran to get in her jammies, said goodnight to everyone and ran straight to bed! I had to remind her to put her cookies out for Santa! Of course she was so excited she couldn't fall asleep and was still awake at 10pm! Luckily she fell asleep before Santa made his way to our house :)

Lily & Paw Paw

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care

Cookies, milk and the reindeer food she made

Even the puppies rushed to bed :)

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow

We got a huge surprise on Christmas Eve this year:

SNOW!!!

Snow accumulated on the trampoline

Lily's SO excited!!!

Lily, Daddy & Paw Paw had a snowball fight!

Snowball!
