Ty's preschool Christmas party. He made that for us!

Well, like most people we had many fun events crammed into the past few weeks. Here are some pics from a few of them. Most of them are from our annual Opryland outing with our friends the Akins. Notice that the kids are in their pajamas. That is because Ty had an accident in the car on the way and all mommy brought were P.J.s! It turned out pretty cute though. Oh, and Brian was infact with us. He just being a picture Grinch that night! :)

Dinner at Bethlehem

Our friends the Moores were the guests of honor!

Yes, this is a camel!

Here are some pics from Dinner at Bethlehem a couple of weeks ago. This is a really neat thing our church does. There is a dinner, a live Nativity scene and a lots of crafts for the kiddos.

Chicago Getaway!!!

Well, sometimes you just need to get away. Brian and I ventured to Chicago earlier this week. It was the first trip we've taken alone since we had Ty. We stayed 3 nights and had a great time. We saw several sights and actually saw a movie in the theater! We also slept in, which was marvelous. We got to see some snow and rough a Chicago winter. It was 4 degrees our first night there! We adjusted pretty well to it though. We missed the kids, but we really enjoyed having a chance to just spend time with each other with no responsibilities. Here are some highlights!

When they say deep dish pizza, they mean it!

Thanksgiving 2008

Okay, I am wayyyy behind on this thing. These are from Thanksgiving. We had a fun one this year. Cousin Malcolm came over for Ty's first ever sleepover in this room on a big boy mattress the night before Thanksgiving. Well, they started out in his room anyway! Then on Thanksgiving morning we babysat Jack and Ben as well so that the Northcutts and Robichauds could do a 5 mile race (We are the defecters who don't run in the family). Then we went to Thanksgiving lunch at Mom and Dad's with the whole Forrest clan. I think there were about 50 of us. We had a great time. It's always fun for the kids to play with cousins. Ty decided that he was Thankful for the ability to pee in his pants and pretended he wasn't potty trained for most of the day. Notice the picture of him in his jammie pants. Those were his 4th pair for the day and all I had left in my bag! Thanksgiving night we went over to uncle Gary and aunt Linda's house for dinner with the Petty clan. It was a full day of fun, family, and food and we slept really well that night!
