Kick off to Christmas

I wanted to start a family tradition this year by doing something fun and festive the 1st weekend of December. This year we kept it close to home and made a trip down to Galveston. My dad, mom, uncle Augustine, Ava and myself (Ryan had already booked plans with his dad to play golf & go to the SAM game) had a wonderful (and very busy) time Saturday evening. We went to Dickens on the Strand, dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant: The Original Mexican Café and lastly The Festival of Light at Moody Gardens.
Ava was a little trooper! She enjoyed herself on the Strand watching all the characters pass while snacking on cinnamon baked pecans. She even got to pet a pony and see an elephant and camel. Maybe next year….or the year after that I will let her ride on one. By the time we made it to the festival of lights Ava was full and tired. We zoomed through the lights and called it a night.
