Christmas Cookies

Nanny, Aunt Molly and the twins came over for lunch and to celebrate Christmas with us. The twins helped Tyler make cookies for Santa.
Then on Christmas Eve when we went to put out milk and cookies for Santa I caught Tyler stealing the cookies!

Christmas with Grandma and Papa

With the newest Ferguson on the way we did Christmas with Grandma and Papa two weeks before. We had most of the family there and it was great to see everyone. We were able to get cousins Piper and Maddie to sit for a picture but taking Tyler away from his toy didnt go over very well. Not sure how we will ever get this kid to participate in a photo again! There is a clock at Grandma and Papas that chimes every hour and Will happened to catch Tyler's expression... so funny.

After that we headed over to Great Grand and Grams and had a great time. Great Gram always has oyster cracker for Tyler and he really likes that.

Santa Brunch

We went to a Santa Brunch. I was excited for the food plus I love brunch and we didnt want to stand in line for an hour at the mall to see Santa.
Will and Tyler rode a train too. Lots of fun!
As you can see Tyler was less than impressed with having his photo with Santa. He did wave bye to him though.

Boy or Girl?????

We didn't find out the gender of our newest additon in advance of the birth. It seemed fun to have the surprise. We didn't have a preference either way just wanted a healthy baby. Everyone thought it was going to be a girl. Will was certain of it even telling me right before we went in for the csection - that based on what the nurse had said he thought it was a girl for sure - she gave it away. I thought it was a girl as well and then at the end of the pregnancy we got a 4D sonogram and when I saw it I thought 'wow that looks like Tyler' and the baby was big which made me think boy and then all kinds of blue clues started showing up. We picked the name Kate for a girl and Travis for a boy. Will named the baby Kavis until we found out.

Tyler Turkey Dance

Tyler's school did a Thanksgiving program for the parents. I was excited to see it - Tyler loves to dance so I figured he would be all about it. I went in and got a good spot and the kids walked out but not Tyler... Finally I see he is laying in the hallway refusing to participate. After the first few songs they drag him into the room and you can see him in the video on the far right sitting on the teachers feet. I like his spunk about half way through the video he starts to get into the song 'I am a Turkey and I Know it' but then gets embarassed I guess and tries to push poor Ms. Luc out into the middle of the room. Oh, Tyler...

Washington DC

We went to Washington DC for our good friend Kevin's wedding. Notice the bump at 32 weeks pregnant this was my last trip but the baby has been to DC - Tyler still hasnt left the great state of Texas in or out of the womb. We are in front of the Capital but Slade doenst know how to take appropriate tourist pictures. Tyler stayed with Nanny and with Grandma and Grandpa. We are lucky to having willing babysitters. He rode the tractor at Grandpa's and now points out any and all tractors. He knows the John Deere green and anything that color with wheels is also called a tractor.

Halloween

For Halloween Tyler was a monkey. We toyed with the idea of having him be Curious George and Will being the Man in the Yellow Hat but tracking down the costume for Will could not be accomplished on Amazon so I had to scrub it. Tyler doesnt get much candy so he didnt really get excited about that part but was very excited to ring door bells and was pretty good about saying Thank You. We sat in our drive way to hand out candy to the other trick or treaters and he kept trying to get into the cars. He was so confused about why we were out there and not going anywhere.
