Month: December 2006

After the Christmas partying was done, Austen celebrated some more with a few of her friends who didn’t have too much planned for Christmas week. The parents enjoyed a nice lasagna dinner made by Mama.

Austen attended a Holiday Party hosted by Gymboree. In addition to the normal activities, Austen made her first craft project. She also ate some of the supplies but that’s another story.

I’m an artist!

Unfortunately, Austen didn’t get anything from her wish list this Christmas. Shame on Santa? Interestingly, Uncle Tod informed Mommy (aka Sister Lucinda) that he purchased quite a few items on the list … for his daughter Morgan. And to think of all the hours Mommy spent devoted to his amusement as a child.

Erin got lots of shoes. Hope her feet don’t grow as fast as Austen’s — she’s in a new size every season.

Zack and Rin got matching shirts from Austen.

The beautiful Pottery Barn embroidered Christmas stocking didn’t last long. Austen pulled one down and the metal stocking hanger swiped the back of her head. So, Mommy made extra small stocking that Austen couldn’t reach, personalizing them with the names Austen uses: Gaga and Dada.

Timmy’s mom, Julie, made the Austen stocking in the middle.
