Mom and I under the cabana watching the Aggies get beat...luckily all the Longhorn fans went to the game so we didn't have to listen to all their trash.

GG and Whitey had come "full circle" and ended back up at the kids table.

Friendly little game of washers...Searight/Cox verses Pigg Family

Mackey tickling GG... The product of the blending, she was going for the handle bar moustache...Mackey with Leah and Jesse

Mackey got to help the famous baker Fadra in the kitchen...she used the real blender and everything.

Who knew college kids could be so entertained by how many obstacles Thomas the Train could take down. Paxton of course was in heaven...trains and big boys. Celebrating Mackey's 2nd B-day...Rusty and Blair felt like they needed to help the birthday girl blow out the cake.

We loaded up and headed for Austin and Liberty City. We have had the most action packed Thanksgiving holiday. First we were entertained in Austin...full with shopping, eating, and football. We stopped at the San Marcos Outlet mall and bought Kirby her bedding and a few Christmas presents. We then headed to Barton Creek for good ole' family time. I was able to see long time friend Kristy Potts and do some mall shopping with her and Analeise. We had more food and pies than you can imagine Thanksgiving day... I think that Kirby gained at least 5 pounds this week. Our children were real troopers as we stayed up till about 12:30 am almost every evening because the fun just didn't stop. Friday morning we headed to Liberty City and got there in time for lunch. We had another great afternoon of playing with cousins and watching football. We were privileged to get to celebrate Grandma Kal's 80th birthday with her. We had a great night...private room, steaks, and birthday cake from the butcher shop. We were able to have a small Christmas celebration with the Parker family and Cheryl and Cori. Saturday morning all the Cox family headed to Danville Farms to help Rusty and I pick out the perfect tree. Where can you buy a 10ft tree for only $45??? The kids loved playing in all the trees. The perfect tree was perfect and we are so excited about heading home to add Christmas spirit to our home.
