Dickens on the Strand

Let the Christmas festivities begin.  Last night I took the boys to a church down the street that was having a Drive-Through Christmas Program.  I rolled the windows down and we drove past 10-11 live scenes listening to the CD they gave us explaining the life of Jesus from birth until Christmas today as we know it.  They loved it.

Then today I took the boys to Dickens on the Strand in Galveston.  We went last year when Chip was working out of the country and we went again this year while he hunted.  Maybe one year he'll be able to go with us.  The boys were so good that we stayed 3 1/2 hours :)

Enjoying the petting zoo

Thank you to the stranger that helped me take pictures

Face painting, foot long sausage on a stick and lemonade...happy boys.

Waiting patiently for the parade to start.

Five minutes later walking back to van, Rainey falls asleep.  Aden feel asleep right after I drove out of the parking lot.  Success!!!
