Dr. Gilden and Fam

Alyssa moved to Austin 7 years ago to embark on a mission to get her Ph.D. in school psychology. Many many years, hours, papers, practicums, etc etc later, she defended her dissertation, went on internship, took some very important tests (and passed!), and worked a year of supervised post-doc fun. PHEW. And SEVEN years later, she thought she ought to celebrate. After all, it was kind of a big deal...So family came together to Austin to celebrate the graduation of Dr. Alyssa Gilden. This meant we got special aunt/uncle, grandparent, and cousin time!

Who's babysitting whom?

super cute cousins

How many family members can you fit into small spaces?

While the mature adults are off doing something mature like graduating and celebrating or something, the kiddos entertain themselves in water buckets that don't fit their bodies etc etc...and then COUSINS BATH!

Aren't they cute in their matching outfits?!

Don't forget to take some pictures with the Harry Potter gown and hat! If no one holds her up, it didn't happen...
