Christmas

We took a trip to visit Mimi and Papa in Texas for Christmas. We feel lucky to have some family close, living in Baton Rouge is so far from what we are use to.

Train tracks run parallel to the road for a long stretch of the trip. Trains are Benjamin's favorite thing in the world, so when we saw this train coming we had to pull over and watch it pass. It is only natural that he would plug his ears the entire time...this boy is sensitive to sound, smells and basically any other sensory thing you could think of.

We took a trip to the Houston Childrens museum the day after christmas. I can't even tell you how amazing this museum is. It is a child's paradise. There was so much to see and do that we didn't even get to all of it. Ben was so happy to have two extra friends to spend the day with. Thanks Mimi and Papa for a wonderful Christmas!

Checking out at the grocery store with Mimi

and Papa

Ben and Mimi climbed this disc/ rope thing all the way up and then back down again. It went three stories up and was really cool. When they got to the bottom we saw a sign that said you had to be 5 to go in it. Whoops...

My dad even found things that intrigued him. I couldn't get his attention until I went up to him and tapped his shoulder.

We couldn't have asked for a better Christmas with my parents, Lauren and lots of Missionaries. Ben is already gearing up for next year.
