Petty Family Thanksgiving/Christmas

We spent the weekend out in Kingston Springs at Brian's parents' house. Brian's sister Kim, her husband Mitch and their 4 daughters were in from Dallas, TX. They will not be back for Christmas so we celebrated Thanksgiving and Christmas this weekend. We even exchanged gifts already! It was great. We had a nice "Christmas dinner" on Saturday night and then exchanged gifts. The kids were so cute and fun. The 4 girls were absolutely precious. We miss them so much because we don't get to see them very often. We treasure these times when they are here. Unfortunately, Ty's cousin Malcolm got sick and had to miss the party. We missed that sweet boy and his daddy. Ty was a little fussy too because of these ear infections that he can't seem to kick, but he did okay. We enjoyed celebrating the holidays with family. We are so incredibly blessed with both of our large families.

Forrest Family Thanksgiving

On Thursday we got to celebrate Thanksgiving with the Forrest family at my parents house. It was a lot of fun. We missed my grandfather who was too sick to come and some others who were under the weather, but we still had a big crowd. The lunch was incredible and the company was even better! I thought I would share some photos. The two guys are my brother and my cousin (yes, they are that big). The two girls are my cousins, and the pretty lady in pink is my grandmother. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I am constantly amazed by how much I have to be thankful for. Praise God for His many blessings!

Ty's First Haircut

Last Wednesday, on the day before Thanksgiving, Ty got his first haircut. I had been putting it off because I didn't want him to be old enough to get a haircut, but Brian finally talked me into it! It looks adorable, although he looks like a little boy now! He hated every minute of it as you can see in the pictures. He screamed bloody murder the whole time (I tipped the lady well don't worry). The whole ordeal only took about 5 minutes and he eventually calmed down. I can't believe how fast he is growing up!

New York City!!!

This past weekend Mom, Jenny, Aunt Karen, Sarah and I went to New York City!!! It was a blast. We had 3 straight days of girl time. I missed my boys a lot, but it was good to get away for a few days. We squeezed in everything we could. We went to Central Park, the Empire State building, St. Patrick's Cathedral, an awesome play called "The Drowsy Chaperone", dinner at a restaurant that overlooked the city, Rockefellar Center, a famous Deli, and more!!! We even bought some knock off Prada purses on the street. Now those of you who see me with it will know that I have not indeed started selling drugs or embezzeling from Tennessee Contractors! We got some good shopping in (all maternity for me). It was just a wonderful weekend. Thanks Mom and Dad!!! I enjoyed getting to spend time with my family. I feel so blessed to have so much wonderful family surrounding me. A special thanks to my dear, sweet husband who rode herd on the little Turkey all weekend! I think they enjoyed each other's company. And when we got back and Ty saw me he burst into angry tears, every mother's dream! Oh well, I think he likes me again today. Hopefully no permanent damage was done. I hope everyone is doing well! Thanksgiving is next week!!! Turn up the Christmas music!!!

Ty's First Birthday

Well I am a little late on this one, but last Saturday we had Ty's Birthday party. It was lots of fun. We celebrated at Nana and Grandy's house. Ty loved his presents, but wasn't so wild about the cake. We finally got him to eat some icing with a spoon! He didn't want to get his hands dirty! I'm not sure where he gets that from. I think he all in all enjoyed it in spite of having two ear infections. It is so hard to believe that he is one year old. Time flies by. We are so thankful for him and the joy that he has brought into our lives. God is good!!! Enjoy the pics!

Ty's One Year Photos

Happy Halloween!!!

On Halloween we traveled out to Kingston Springs for a great dinner and some trick or treating in Nana and Grandy's neighborhood (along with all of Cheatham county). Then we went to see Grandmother and Grandad with our little honey pot. Ty got to trick or treat with Micah and Noah and he seemed to enjoy it. He didn't get scared of the scary people and he kept his hat on most of the time. Noah (Peter from Narnia) had a blast running from house to house. Trick or treating was more of a technicality for little Roo and the Honey Pot. It's always fun to hang out with family.

A Day at the Park

I'm a little behind on my posting, but on Monday Ty and I went to the park with Jenny, Noah, Micah, and Nana. We had a lot of fun and I took some pics that I wanted to share.
