CHRISTMAS

First I should say sorry for lack of posting, but I got a new camera for christmas so hopefully that will help me!!! I hope I take more pictures and post more so we can keep these memories for a long time!!

Now for Christmas!!

We had a wonderful christmas full of family and fun!! I loved our cute little tree this year, Garret was so good to not touch or try to open the presents.

 The saturday before christmas Zach's family on his mom side all got together for a
christmas party, they do this every other year.  It's a fun way to see how everyone
 is doing and how much the little ones have grown!! So these pictures are us just before
leaving for the party

 Every time they have this party my mother in law makes a pinata, it's always something cute and this year it was rudolph!

 My cute little man!!! He started pushing the pinata and then it came back
at him and pushed him down before anyone could get there.

 After that he wanted nothing to do with it!!

 On Christmas eve we watched the snow fall, he loved it soon after this he grabbed his coat
and handed it to me, he wanted to go out in it so Zach being the amazing dad he is went
out for a bit in it.  After that we headed to Grantsville, Zach's dad's family lives down
there and we have made it a tradition to go down there on Christmas eve and eat
lunch with Zach's grandparents.  I have really enjoyed doing this because we
don't get to see them very often.

After grantsville we went and hung out with Zach's family.  It was Hannah's first time in the 
exercauser and she loved it he eyes got all big and she did not know what to do with everything
 around her!!  Garret loves his cousin Hannah, he's always trying to give her hugs and hand her
toys.  It will be fun to watch these two grow up together!!

 After a bath we had to put on Christmas jammies!

On Christmas morning I got Garret out of his crib and sat on the couch to wait for him to
 wake up a little more, once he did he saw his big truck waiting for him and it wasn't long
before he was off my lap and playing with it!!  This was the only toy that wasn't wrapped so
we had to dive in to the wrapping!  He wasn't too sure about it probably because we had told
 him no before but he soon warmed up to it and was having a blast!!

 He really likes Toy Story so we made sure to get him a Woody and a Buzz

 He likes stuffed animals so a Donald and a Mator

 He loves Donald, he has been plenty snuggled already!!

Then we headed back over to Zach's parents to have Christmas morning there 

Getting his bus out 

 Hannah thought it was pretty fun!! She loved the paper, but it was really funny when she realized toys were in it!!  It wasn't getting into her mouth fast enough!! She is so cute and fun to watch grow!!

 This is a Lightening Mcqueen car he can ride on and it makes noises and stuff

 And a horse!! No not a live one but he can sit on it, hopefully it helps him get

ready to be on a real horse which grandpa guy can't wait for that day!! He was

 kind of nervous about it at first but he's warming up to it.

 Then we headed over to my parents for lunch.  It's the last Christmas with everyone for
awhile because Tiffany and her family are headed to North Carolina for school for 2 years
and Michelle and Braden are headed to a school undecided.  Both will be moving out of state
 in July.  For now though here is Garret in his favorite part of any house and his buddy Carter. 
They usually follow eachother every where!! They sure do like playing with eachother!!

My parents got all the boys a fort maker, it's these sticks and balls and you can make

any shape you want.  It was a big hit as soon as they opened them they wanted to build

one and Garret thought it was pretty cool inside!

 
 Here he is coming out

 With grandpa checking out his camera

 Landen and grandpa reading, this is usually the room you will find Landen in reading to
 anyone that will listen although usually he has the lights off with a flashlight.

We had such a wonderful Christmas and I love celebrating the birth of our savior!! I am so thankful for everything he went through in his life so that I am able to be with our families forever!! I love my family and can't imagine my life without them!!  I am one lucky and very blessed girl!!!
