All Aboard !!! :D

All aboard the Polar Express !!!

A few days before Christmas Daddy surprised our

little man with some tickets to go ride the Polar Express train,

just like in his favorite movie! :D

It was a long drive &we weren't sure we'd make it but

we managed to get to the train station just in time

to pick up our tickets, find our cart &seats &get settled in. :)

It was all definitely worth seeing the look on David's face when the train blew

it's whistle and puffed smoke even from the parking lot!

He kept yelling ALL ABOARD!, CHOOCHOO!, TRAIN!

&making steam noises.. XD

He definitely knows his trains lol.

Hubby &I had never been on a real train either so we were just as excited!

You're encouraged to wear your pjs just like in the movie which little

man did, I wish we had! Sure will next year..

We'll definitely be going again :D

I got as many pics as I could!

 Holding his Polar Express ticket

(the whole time we were on the train he refused to let go of it!)

 I'd say he was pretty happy about the free chocolate chip

oatmeal cookies :D

Post was super long

CLICK BELOW TO SEE THE REST!

Family Lunch :D

Today we decided to take a little family trip to Houston &get some lunch

at our FAVORITEE diner >> 59 Diner <3

Of course as usual while we were trying to find it we managed to get

lost among the 1-way streets of Houston

(I despisee 1-way streets btw)

BUT we did see some very pretty trees &houses &David got in

a mini nap while we searched high &low!

Galveston Trip :D

This little family has needed a mini-vacation for a long while

coming so today we went on down to Galveston to get some yummy

SEAFOOOOD <3

Joe's Crabshack was calling our name &we couldn't help ourselves :D

Of course we couldn't go to Galveston and NOTT go

to the beach so we went walking and playing in the sand for a bit.

David loveddd it. :)

Kid hates grass but loves the sand

and even the cold water. Go figure.. :P

Then we collected seashells, walked on the jetties, took some pictures of course,

&played in the water so David could enjoy the mud lol. :))

Then took a very sandy boy down the road to Ben &Jerrys for ICECREAMMM!

Daddy got chocolate, Mommy&Bubba shared "Fish Food" icecream which

was like Rocky Road but no nuts &the chocolate was chocolate

fudge FISH. Who could ask for more?! Lol.

So after filling our tummies with fries &fish, icecream fish, and romping in the sand

we headed home to give a very tired baby a good bath. <3

Here's all the great moments of our day :)

Via Mommy &Daddy's excessive picture taking..

David made friends &googoo eyes with the waitress at the table

behind us and she gave him a free shark :))
