We had such an amazing Christmas! We headed down to Galveston on Thursday, and surprisingly - the trip went by so much faster than I thought. The kids slept almost the entire way!!! We stopped in La Marque at Nikki and Travis' house. Travis was at work, but we got to see Nikki and Aiden - as well as Nikki's brother and dad. We hung out for a little bit...and I have to say that I am completely enamored with little Aiden. He is so cute, I just wanted to hold him the entire time...but he was busy playing with Logan and Landry! I took a bunch of clothes that Logan has grown out of down to drop off with Nikki, which Aiden probably wont be able to wear for a year from now...but oh well!
We hit the road again down to JR's mom's house in Galveston...we had such a good time hanging out and eating some wonderful food. Landry didn't sleep AT ALL! I forgot her dang blanket, and it wasn't pleasant! On Saturday, we went to my Grandmother's house for a few hours to visit and then went back to Carol's for dinner. We decided to go to Moody Garden's and see the Fantasy of Lights...I was not really impressed by it...They have one in Dickenson (which is free, I might add) and it is much better! They also have one in Wimberley, which is called the "Trail of Lights" and it is much better as well. Anyway, we took Logan to the ice skating rink...he was so excited, so I went and paid for the skates and put them on myself while JR took care of Logan...when Logan tried to stand in the skates he couldn't and he did NOT like it at all so he refused to get on the ice! JR ended up taking the skates and trading them in for his own size and the two of us went ice skating together...well not really - because apparently I am a pretty decent ice skater, so I passed up JR and went for it...It was really fun! JR went one round and got off the ice! HAHAHA...he was too funny!
On Christmas Day we packed everything up and headed back to my Nanny's house for Christmas lunch....oh my goodness...the food was amazing - I ate far to much, but it was ohhhhhh so good! We sat around talking with family before getting back on the road....EXCEPT when we got to the car JR saw that he had a text from his mom saying I forgot my hair straightener, and that JR's brother, Jason, and his wife and son (lisa and Davin) and JR's sister, Brittany had come down and wanted to see us. So we headed back over to Carol's house to visit with the family for about 30 minutes and then got on the road to go home.
About halfway home my little sister (who was at my parents how) text me to let me know she had to leave to go back home the following day....ughhhh! So, we decided to drive the extra 30 minutes to my parents house, so that I could see her before she went home. We got there about 8:00. We hung out, talked, laughed and decided to play Scategories...the whole family played...I was reminded at how hilarious my dad is. It was too much fun. We opened gifts and by the time we got in the car to head home it was midnight! Geeesh!
Anyway, the point of the blog is that we had a marvelous Christmas!!!

It was great to see you guys! Even if Aiden didn't have Landry and Logan to follow around, I think it would have been difficult to get him to let you hold him. He has only let my mom hold him ONE TIME during the entire 2 weeks she's been here. Ridiculous.
