Christmas in Austin Part 2

The family portraits before gift-opening.  The four of us,

Brian's family with grandparents,

and the grands with all six grandchildren.

Carlton sporting the new bow-tie he opened from Aunt Jill.

The second half of the week there the temperature dropped about 30 degrees, so sweet little Cadell got to try some new cozy gifts.

We spent some time indoors making and decorating gingerbread cookies,

but the cool weather did not keep the kids from running around and having a blast together.  Even Clara got in on the action, and seemed to love the energy of the big kids.

A wonderful week to be together!  Can't wait for next time.
