Christmas in Austin Part 1

In early December we flew to Austin, TX to spend a week with Mark's family, all of whom have recently moved there.  The first few days were hot and sunny, and we had a fun barbecue over at Brian and Sara's place.

Carlton enjoying a juice box (a real novelty for him!)

The kid table for the four oldest cousins - Paul, Iris, Laila and Carlton.

 Brian snacking with Clara...

and with Carlton.  Quality uncle time.

The day of our Christmas celebration, all the kids dressed in red.  Jill with the two youngest cousins (her son Cadell, and Clara)...

Me with the oldest and youngest cousins, Laila and Cadell...

My boys being goofy...

and Clara trying to draw with markers just like the big kids.  She wanted to do every last thing they did, of course.
