Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle All The Way.

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!!! I hope each of you have had a JOYOUS holiday season. The Forrest family has been busy for the past week, getting together with special friends and family. I LOVE this time of the year!!!!! It just feels my heart with happiness. The kids received a trampoline for Christmas (I have to admit I am a little nervous), Reagan is getting her ears pierced, Roman has enough Legos to cover a city block. I got new perfume, a fancy pair of sunglasses and of coarse my imac. Jerad got a weight machine, boots and gift cards. I am including some photos from the month of December, working up to the big day. Merry Christmas to each of you, HUGS.

This Must Be Just Like Living In Paradise

I can smell the suntan oil from here. Jerad and I just spent 5 days in Mexico and it was fantastic. We wanted a relaxing get away and man did we get it. We stayed at the El Dorado Royale Cassitas Resort. It was an all adult, all inclusive resort near Playa Del Carmen. Beautiful blue water and hot, hot sunshine. We slept late, took naps and had a few adult beverages {wink}.

We stayed in the cassita section of the hotel which was really private and separate from the main hotel. We stayed in a little "hut" which was about 8 steps from the beach. Our room had a hot tub, a bath tub AND an outdoor shower. We used the outdoor shower everyday. So Cool!!!

There were about 20 pools and the one near us snaked around to our back patio. I got such a tan. Jerad too. We are already planning our next trip. Now, bring on Christmas. Hugs

Girls Houston Getaway 2010

WOW!!!! Could it be as fun as last year? Would we all get along? Could we stay busy? Ummmm, SHUT UP, of coarse we could and we did. I never dreamed we could have so much fun, or laugh soooooo hard. I will never see a carnival again without thinking of each of you :) Shiner Cheer, pappasitos margaritas and pink punk cosmos were a BIG BIG hit. Three projects from the FABULOUS Janet Hopkins. Late nights, Texas BarBQ, and more shopping than the average person can stand. Keely shouting "Just one more picture and that's it". Shari, giving Reagan the most AMAZING quilt I have EVER seen, made from her baby clothes. Oh and you are the queen of mixology. Susan, knocking people down for her morning Starbucks :) Carolyn, you just can't make that stuff up. Really!!!!! Ann, can I be honest? You made our group complete. Thanks for taking that leap of faith. So glad you came. Christa is a shitty friend but other than that, YOU ROCK Christa :) I love each of you more than you will ever know. Tanya, I missed you my BFF terribly. YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE!!!!!

PS. Don't take a chance on getting sober :) Enjoy the pics. PSS....check out the lady behind Ann in the first picture. She is NOT feeling it :) Hugs

Kit Of The Month Pages

Well, I was up this month for Kit of The Month at By Design Scrapbbook and these are the pages I came up with. Had a great time doing them. Felt good to work with paper. My friend Janet Hopkins will be coming to Houston to teach and 6 of my VERY BEST GIRLFRIENDS will be here to take classes with me. I am just giddy thinking about it!!!! Have a good week, Hugs.
