Christmas 2007

We had a great time this Christmas. We were in Houston with my parents and my brother and his family for Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning. We had a lot of fun and Peyton got to hang out with his cousins. The kids had a blast with all of their toys. We then drove back to Austin Christmas afternoon and got to spend the rest of the day with the McDonald gang. We had a 3rd Christmas with MiMi and Papa the next day. This Christmas season was very busy but realized how blessed we are to have such a wonderful big family. Mark took off 2 weeks so our little family had a lot of quality time together. I hardly took any pictures so I am going to have to get some from my parents to post. So, hopefully we will have more pictures up in a couple of days. Here is one picture of Peyton in his Christmas outfit. He is officially walking on his own now so I will have get some pictures of that for you guys. I hope every one's holidays were terrific.

Congrats!!!!

Andrew and Lacy got engaged on Friday. Whoop!!

We are so excited for them. We love you guys!

Love,

Erica, Mark, and Peyton

The Ranch

We went to the ranch this weekend and had a blast. Mark of course has been before but we had not. Peyton loved it. He wanted to be outside with the cows the whole time. I can't wait for him to walk so he isn't crawling on the ground. Also,I can't wait for the putting everything in his mouth phase to be over. Anyways, we had fun and look forward to going again. I want to explore the ranch a little bit more. It is so beautiful and peaceful out there. Lacy and I enjoyed a great walk and got to appreciate the beautiful hill country that God gave us.

Peyton loves the tractor.

Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving this year. It was Peyton's first time to get to eat Thanksgiving dinner. He wasn't very fond of the dinner but loved Pumpkin Pie. He couldn't get enough and would cry when it was all gone.

Here is a picture of Peyton last year at Thanksgiving!Isn't it amazing how much they grow up in a year?Peyton playing in his toy bin while watching the Thanksgiving Day Parade. While the girls cooked the boys watched a movie. Lacy did a great job on the turkey!

Peyton's first bite of Pumpkin Pie. It was a hit :)

We watched the Aggie and Longhorn game with some of our best friends which are Longhorns. The Aggies won two years in a row! Whoop!!!

Mark with his Corps hat on for good luck. Peyton thought it was hilarious.

Peyton trying it on.
