Merry Christmas to All!
We hope all of our friends and family who visit this site have a very Merry Christmas! It's been a wonderful morning full of spoiled children! We are off to Grammy and Papa's and later to Grandma and Grandpa's for more fun. I am so grateful for wonderful family, my amazing little boys, awesome husband and the love and blessing of the Savior in our lives. Have a wonderful day!

Christmas=Busy
I LOVE the holidays but I must say I feel so busy all month. It's filled with great "busy" times, but I'm excited that next week is dedicated to family and relaxing! Here's a few pics from our
"busy-ness"...
Ercanbrack Family Christmas Party. There are at least 100 Ercanbracks and most of them were at the party. We don't see them very often so it was nice to see everyone and catch up.
Aunt Angel helped Peyton with the crafts. Thanks Ange! Peyton loves you and Uncle Kurt.
Peyton was thrilled to be taking a family picture.
Watching Santa arrive...Tyler is such a good cousin.
This was the second visit to Santa in one day (he's seen him four times now!) Every visit its the same thing..."I want a big firetruck."
Later on we decorated gingerbread houses at Grammy's house. Ours was not quite Martha Stewart material, but it was still fun! Later that night McKay and I got to go to the Gary Allan concert at The Depot. We always love Gary...although this experience was my least favorite. Standing for four hours by a bunch of drunk, sleazy girls is not my idea of fun. At least Gary was entertaining!
Last weekend we had the Ercanbracks over for a Christmas get-together. I enjoy entertaining, especially during the holidays. We had a fun evening together. What a good looking family!
Monday night we went to Grandma Shoell's Christmas party...always a fun night!
The boys' matching Christmas sweaters. LOVE these guys so much.
McKay's sweet Grandma. The house feels different with Grandpa gone, but Grandma still shares and gives all that she has and makes it a warm, inviting place to visit. She's a great accordian player. We all sing as she plays while we wait for Santa to come.
Cute Kurt was a trooper and played Santa's reindeer this year. The guy next to him is cousin Mel's fiance...he's at least 6'7 and a super nice guy...so excited for her!
I sneaked Chayce on Santa's lap and I don't think he even noticed where he was. Better experience for the first time than it was for Peyton! Thanks for the great evening Grandma!
I had my girlfriends from high school over Wednesday night and didn't take any pictures! It's so fun to get together with them! We are completely entertained by food and talking...nothing else needed! It was nice to have an evening minus kids to just relax...I think between all of us there are well over 20 kids in the group now! Thanks for coming girls!
We have much more fun ahead...Christmas is SO great!

Festival of Trees
Another fun evening at the Festival. Although I HATE parking at this event so it dampers the beginning of the evening. You shortly forget when you get into the expo center and get to enjoy!
My aunt Julie and cousin Kristen joined us this year...made it alot of fun
Thanks Mom for inviting us every year. She takes Peyton on fun adventures weekly and this was one of them. She's started a scrapbook with pictures from all of them so he'll have fun memories of time with his Grandma. She is so awesome!
They had the Utah and BYU trees right next to each other...don't think they'll ever be much more unity between the two schools besides that :)
I loved this Santa decoration...if anyone ever sees it please tell me where it is!
This was Peyton's favorite...the Eric Carle tree
Wizard of Oz tree. I think it was my favorite.
Another favorite...the Barbie tree. There were a few but I liked this one the best.
I love doing things with my family during the holidays. It makes everything perfect!
I thought this was cute...the progression of getting a good picture of your baby...
Good...
Better...
Best...Love you Chayce!
Thanks again Mom for a great evening.

Six months and sitting
Chayce went to his six month appointment today. Almost 18 pounds and if I remember about 27 inches. He's such a happy, healthy baby. I think all I could ever ask or wish for is healthy kids...and so far that's come true. He is such a joy to have in our home. He just stares at Peyton...I know he already realizes its his brother and that they'll share a special bond.
Our little man is sitting up! He'll stay for a few minutes by himself before its time to topple over. Love him so much!

All Aboard on the Polar Express
We had such a fun night Tuesday on the Polar Express! Lisa and Porter invited us to join them along with our friends Kristin and Matie and it was a fun experience! Peyton LOVES the movie and believes every bit of it.
Once Peyt found his seat he did NOT want to move for awhile. I tried to get him to for a picture with Porter and he wasn't having it. When I put these jammies on him last night he said "No Mom I wear these on the Polar Express!".
Peyton and "Glitter". The little elves came up to Peyt a few times and talked to him about what Santa was bringing him for Christmas...he's determined to get trucks!
Watching for the North Pole...
Peyton usually loves me to read to him but HE was in charge of the book and turning the pages. So we didn't really read the story on the train but that's OK.
Santa joined us on the train at the North Pole and had a bell for all the kids...here's Peyt receiving his.
Not so sure about the big guy but he didn't cry which is a step up from last year!
So proud of his new bell that rings for him! He believes in Christmas and Santa that's for sure!
Lisa told me about these pajamas at Target so I had to get some for Peyt too...he's a Cars fanatic. Our cute matching boys who didn't want a posed picture. Here they are jumping on the seats!
The conductor comes around and punches their ticket at the end...just like the movie. Wish this picture was better but oh well!
We had a great start to a wonderful holiday season!
