The Bounce House

We went to a Birthday Party today at a bounce house, and Austin loved to climb up these 20 foot tall 'mountains' just to slide down the other side.

Christmas Eve Train Ride

Pillows

Austin was so tired of shopping with me that he wanted to go to sleep in the pillows at Macy's.

The Waterfall Mine

As soon as Austin opened this present, he wanted to go to bed (and take this with him)!!! We had to go to the store to buy him some track and a train to play.

Gingerbread House

Austin and Ella made gingerbread houses. I think it is gorgeous.

Breakfast with Santa at the Aquarium

We were relieved that there was a bench so that Austin could sit next to Santa. He has been telling us for a while that he did not want to sit on Santa's lap, but he would sit/stand next to Santa. When we walked into the aquarium Santa was sitting alone and we took a picture. After breakfast, we walked downstairs and Mrs. Claus had joined Santa. We got a second picture. It was a great experience, and Austin loved it.

African Forest at the Houston Zoo

It's better than Disney's Animal Kingdom.

High-Steppin' at the Thanksgiving Day Parade

Gotta love Madison High....

Present

Austin wrapped this box by himself. He is so proud, and he carries his present around the house!
