Huntsville Christmas trip

Coco decided we would experience Christmas Village & the Galaxy of Lights in Huntsville this year. Our adventure began around lunch on Saturday, December 1st. I know we picked a bad day because of the SEC championship game but don't worry, we had it recorded! As you can see in the pictures below, Stryker nicely insisted that Coco sit by him. My tahoe has bucket seats in the middle causing her to enjoy the hour drive in the floor! Oh what she sacrifices for her grandchildren. We ate an early dinner at Red Robin located in the Bridgestreet outside mall. After filling our tummies, we walked around outside enjoying the nice weather. Santa surprised us by the water fountain so Stryker told him he wanted heroes & big heroes. Stryker rode the outdoor carousel twice (first w/ Coco & then w/ daddy). On our way to the car, a middle school aged drum line was playing by the fountain. Stryker focused in amazement at them. When they took a break, one of the boys offered Stryker his sticks to play! What a selfless boy! The little boy watched Stryker as he played & them gave him high five at the end. He will never truly know how unbelievable that gesture made our son feel. Now, it was off to Christmas Village. Stryker made a Christmas ornament, visited w/ elves & Santa (he actually sat in his lap this time), played in Santa's workshop, petted live reindeer, & decorated cookies. Thank you Coco for such an exciting, fun filled Christmas experience!
