Austen & Gage

Austen continued her holiday celebrations … even after the new year. The moms enjoyed mimosas and shrimp cocktail while the kids played and ate goldfish crackers.

Devan helped celebrate New Year’s Eve with Austen (even if neither was actually awake during the ball drop, when Dick Clark counted down “Eleven, nine, eight, seven …”). They continued playing the next morning while the parents enjoyed a bacon and egg breakfast compliments of Dada.

Here’s Devan with his Daddy, Kimball, before any drinks.

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.

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.
