Christmas in Austin

Andy and I decided we’d post at least three articles about Austin, we had such a great vacation and so much fun, not to mention too many photos to put into one article.

We tried to go to midnight mass on the 24th, Rosemary sang in the choir, and Leilani made noise in the back. I took her to see all the pictures, and she learned to say Jesus… she really likes him because he is a baby on all the pictures and nativity displays, and it helped that his name sounds like cheese which is one of her favorite words (whenever the refrigerator door is openend, or a camera points at her). Anyway, I got tired of walking her around and looking at pictures, and she was tired period. Andy took us home then.

We opened the presents on the 25th. Leilani helped us unwrap the gifts (“apa, apa” for open) and enjoyed gifts as well as all the attention and the wrapping paper.
