Austin-Williams visit

Only a few times a year does the Austin-Williams clan make an appearance in Vermont. This Christmas was one of those rare events. As you can see Lexi and Lola were very excited to see Jelani, even violating the no jumping rule.








Everybody loves to open presents, but most are not this careful about it.












"Lemmee see, lemmee see" Lexi wants to see what Tina got












"I really like your boots, do thy have names?" " Can they come play with me?"













Nothing like watching a boy and a dog interact.














Jelani with his year in pictures compliments of a photographer he happens to know.














Tina tries on her new bracelet, designed by yours truly.














Mark loves Jelani's photo album, all pictures and no words













The gift of the night. A special present from Donna to the Williams boys. Mark made the trip just to be here for this gift.









Father and son share a moment reflecting











Tina takes time to enjoy the gift.










A custom sports poster.

Generation to Generation - To be a team you first must be a family.

Photos are of Mark and Jelani playing B Ball in the park Mark grew up playing at.

Donna was so excited to give this wonderful art piece.




Of course every year this little turqious box with red ribbon appears from Jelani. Any guesses? its Tiffany's. ( this little gift from Jelani takes a lot of pressure off me for christmas( ha ha )









It was not the box or the earrings for Jelani this year that donna valued most it was this note Jelani penned to her that melted her heart. ( Ninang is Fillipino for godmother)
