WE're back from Texas. We spent seven days in Austin for Thanksgiving holidays. Our holiday travels began with a two hour delay going out of Tulsa airport. The airline gave us vouchers for food and Mark was so good during the wait and the flight. Mark had a lot of trips going up the escalator and down the stairs before we left the Tulsa airport. We had a wonderful warm day playing in the park and having wheelbarrow rides outside and then the cool air came in and it was time for snuggling by a warm fire. It was lots of fun. Mark loved spending time with cousin Kylie and she often had him in giggles. It was wonderful to see Mom, Homer, Nicole, Kylie, and Brandon during our stay in Ausitn.

We had an early Christmas celebration and Mark enjoyed helping to decorate the Christmas tree. He also enjoyed all the gifts he received, especially the race car set from Auntie Nicole and Cousin Kylie and the riding toy from Grandma Mary and Grandpa Homer.
