Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve morning we went to the Aquarium in Kemah and had breakfast with Santa, just like last year, and Benjamin got to meet the Big Guy himself and tell him what he wanted for Christmas...a fire truck. =) 

We spent Christmas Eve at GiGi and Poppy's and had a wonderful evening with family.  And Benjamin got to get in lots of practice opening gifts from family. 

Benjamin loved the balloon that GiGi and Poppy had for him. 

And loved getting in some good conversation. =)

Benjamin got enough new toys on Christmas Eve that we could open up our own Toys R Us, but his favorite by far was this Dusty Crophopper airplane ride on.  Benjamin loved cruising around GiGi and Poppy's on that thing working the propeller and flashing the lights. 

And of course we had to have new Christmas pajamas.

By the end of the evening we were all worn out and ready to go to sleep so we could wake up and see what Santa brought.
