Merry . . . April!

Pictures from our first Christmas together!Travis at the Trail of Lights at Zilker Park, which we decided should actually be called the River of People. We made the mistake of going (along with our awesome Austin family) on an unseasonably warm night. Apparently, all of Texas made the same mistake. But this tunnel at the beginning of the trail was pretty cool!
Me in the tunnel (wearing the Travis t-shirt Heidi made us!)Richard and Daniel (Travis' brothers), "Cooking up Christmas" in their church play. Randy Phillips from Phillips, Craig, and Dean is their pastor! He is from Tennesee, where they say "A-man" instead of "A-men." Most importantly, Richard and Daniel rocked it out!
Travis with the boys post-play (Stephen and the cousins are not in this picture, because they were stealing donuts at the time.)
The spread at the first family event we hosted, a Christmas cookie decorating party! In attendance: Vicky and Danny, Crystal, Stephen, Richard, Daniel, Aunt Anette, and our cousins Chris and Jason. Good thing I made 100 cookies!
My mom-in-law and wonderful new sister Crystal. A few days after Christmas, Crystal took Vicki and I to see the Rockettes at the Irwin Center! We had the best. seats. ever. And it was amazing! My favorite part was when a pair of ice skaters skated on this little rink right next to us!
Stephen helping Richard play Guitar Hero.And here is my favorite picture from around Christmas, of our best Austin friends, Joe and Trey! The four of us try to get together at least once a week for dinner/dessert/epic Rummikub games.
