Post Christmas - Pre Referral

We had a great Christmas here in ol' Teagueland.... Mark and I didn't exchange much (GPS for him, Senseo coffee maker for me), and we donated money to Love Without Boundaries for everyone else.



Here's Austin with his awesome remote control car thingy (because they split apart and twirl around and do all kinds of strange things that cars can't do). A favorite of Austins (and Mark's, he got one too).

Austin was the main gift receiver this year, but at the last minute I panicked so we wrapped up boxes of cupcakes and I had my mom wrap up some things that I bought for myself so that the little selfish one wouldn't think he was the only one deserving of some paper flying.....

We had a great day. We went and saw The Chronicles of Narnia. Well done, a little above Austin's head, but not bloody or gorey where it could have been.

Hopefully referrals will be here next week. We leave for Disneyland on the 8th, and it would be wonderful to have Ryleigh's picture to carry around by then. If not, we will receive our call while in Disneyland and rush to the nearest computer with Internet access.....I've already scoped out some local places via The Laughing Place


Just a great picture of Austin climbing on the new equipment at the local elementary school.

Great pics Stacey, thanks!
Love the last minute panic about only Austin getting gifts, that's hilarious.

I am trying to stay calm about your referral but it is NOT working. How are you doing it?

I can't wait to sign in and read of your referral!
I am glad Austin had a great Christmas! And I am also glad you were home to celebrate with him. This is a year of big changes for him!
Keep me informed! Take care!Kim

Oh, I hope you get your referral before your Disney trip. Ironically we might get a referral when we have a scheduled trip to Disney too, late in Feb.

Anyway, enjoy your trip with your adorable little guy.
