Moody Gardens

This weekend we went to Moody Garden's Festival of Lights, it lived up to the hype, we had a great time. There was a mile long trail of Christmas lights, add that on top of the fact that we were outside and it made for a perfect evening for Tripp. We definitely want to go again next year, the only thing we would do differently is stay at a hotel down there instead of driving home. We also put up our Christmas decorations this Saturday. It worked out perfectly, Tripp fell asleep and didn't wake up till we were done :).

We headed downtown to meet up with Aunt Bethany, Uncle Dave and Violet around 4pm, we wanted to get down to Galveston early so we could have dinner and exchange Christmas presents. Violet was racing to and from the front door when we got to their house and Tripp thought it was hilarious! Ever time she came back from the door she gave Tripp a hug, it was too cute!
At dinner Violet and Tripp got to open their Christmas gifts, here is Violet hugging her charm bracelet, I think that means she likes it :)

These presents from Aunt Bethany and Uncle Dave were his first Christmas gifts to ever unwrap, in fact they were his first gifts to ever actually unwrap. (He has received a few other Christmas gifts already but none were wrapped)

The Gould's, I think Violet was a little distracted by the lights in this one.
