Birthdays, Christmas lights and Santa!

Wednesday was Jason's birthday. Happy birthday sweetheart! We went over to his parent's house for dinner, cake and ice cream. It was yummy!!!!

On Saturday, my sorority sister Amy was in town so we went to dinner and headed down to Moody Gardens Festival of Lights in Galveston. We took Brinley last year and she loved seeing all the Christmas lights. This was the opening weekend and since the next 2 weekends are booked and we didn't want to chance Clayton coming early, we decided to start the Christmas season a little early! Thanks to Hurricane Ike, the walking tour of Christmas lights was only half of what is was last year due to damage, but none the less spectacular! Brinley "oohed" and "ahhed" over all the lights. It was a little chilly last night so with all the Christmas music playing and millions of lights, it didn't even feel like the week before thanksgiving!

At the end of the tour, Santa Claus was there. Brinley is not too fond of people dressed up and wouldn't even go near Santa last year without screaming! Jason eased her up him and he was great! He didn't talk to her or look or her, just let her get used to being next him before doing anything. Although she wouldn't sit on his lap, she did sit on the arm of his chair! PROGRESS! I am hoping a few more trips to see Santa will eventually yield a good picture with him this year!
