Crochet Me Crazy

Just back last night from a whirlwind trip to Austin for Alison's birthday! We started of the day Friday with her customary "birthday bacon".

She opened her presents and as much as she hated to leave her new keyboard...

we hit the road!

We ate at her favorite restaurant


Then we headed to the Trail of Lights where we were herded like cattle through the mile long trail. It was unbelievable the amount of people....
We took a bus shuttle over to the lights. While we were riding on the bus, Jeff got up and announced that it was his daughter's 16th birthday and asked everyone to help us sing Happy Birthday to her. Alison sat there blushing while a whole bus load of strangers sung Happy Birthday to her! :)





We went home and had birthday cake and stayed up WAY too late!



The next morning we got up and went shopping at thrift stores. We made a pretty good haul at the thrift stores. The big deal was Alison trying to get the courage up to get her ears pierced! We made it through that and then went to eat with our friends before hitting the road to come back home again.

Here is Alison's birthday gift from Morgan....
