Happy New Year!

Hey there! This is Austin, again. My Mom is so slow with these holiday updates! I thought I'd take control and tell you how we rang in 2010.

"Aunt" Julia and "Uncle" Ryan came over for dinner on New Year's Eve. Let me tell you, they had SO much food. You would have thought six more people were coming for dinner. I played with my new toys while everyone got dinner ready. Steaks, shrimp, crab legs, salad, baked potatoes and "Red Lobster rolls" --- yum-o! Look at it all!
I think my Godfather is praying we could eat all that food! After dinner, I played some more while the adults talked about silly adult stuff. I tried so hard to stay awake until midnight. My mama tried over and over again to put me in my bed. Who was she trying to kid? There was a party going on! I think I finally gave up around 10:30. Happy New Year!

The next day, I took a super long nap because I had been up so late the night before. My parents thought they had finally figured out my late night / long nap schedule. Ha! Who's in charge here?? Anyway, after my nap we went over to Ka and Ky's house for a fish fry. I loved playing with their leftover New Year's Eve decorations. What's more fun then a room full of balloons? My mama must have told me 100 times not to bite the balloons. She's so not fun.
Ka and Ky both had friends over for the evening. I loved all the extra attention. I'd stand at the top of the stairs and scream "kids, kids, kids" when they weren't giving me enough attention. After dinner, the men hung out in the kitchen while the ladies played this rummy-like game. I think I would have been pretty good at it but they wouldn't even let me touch the tiles. So I decided to drink my mama's beer instead. Just kidding! It was an empty cooler cup!
Do you see my Nana up there? She didn't want anyone cheating! And don't even ask me what's going on with her pants in row two.

What a fun way to welcome 2010! My Aunt Buh. and Great Uncle John must have been hiding from the camera. Shame on them!

Happy 2010!

Love, Austin
