Moody Gardens Christmas!

We surprised the boys with a quick trip to Moody Garden's for some Christmas fun together. We hadn't been there since the boys were much younger, so none of us really remembered anything about it. I bought the tickets like a month before, but we didn't tell the boys until about a week before. They struggled with not knowing what we were doing and tried all week to get anything out of us. We just let it all unfold as it happened--no hints. It was fun! We started by checking into the hotel. It was beautifully decorated with all kinds of Christmas stuff. We got ready for a surprise dinner and magic show. It was really good. The dinner was set up like a banquet and that really threw the boys for a loop. We shared a big round table with another family and I guess the boys hadn't really experienced that before. They illusionist guy was really good--great show full of singing, dancing, and illusions. Then we went to the Festival of Lights--really pretty. Of course, the boys had to go swimming--that's always their favorite part when we stay in a hotel. We finished the evening with a late dinner in the room. Neither of the boys had ever experienced getting room service so they thought that was cool. Poor Cam fell asleep before his food arrived. I had fun with you guys. I love you Davy, Cam, and Caden! You three mean everything to me. Merry Christmas!
