Christmas trip to Houston

Opening gifts.
Tracy, Carson and I hopped a plane for Houston on Christmas day and Lucas picked us up that morning. We had a great time exploring the city, celebrating the holiday, meeting Taylor's grandparents, her brother and his girlfriend, seeing Lucas's office aka: the shipping channel, spotting alligators and beautiful birds, and in general, having a fantastic time.
