Ugly Christmas Sweater

I don't know if I have ever blogged about my Ugly Christmas Sweater.  I made this sweater the year that Gavin was born because we needed one for work and I couldn't find one that I liked.  I found one like it on the internet and decided to make my own.  It lights up and is kinda starting to fall apart, but I still love it.  Next year, I think I need to make a new one.

We had an Ugly Christmas Sweater party at work this year and of course, my sweater won!

Nursery

This is Greyson's last year of Nursery, he will be going to Primary and Sunbeams next year (week, Sunday).  It makes me sad and happy for him.  Hopefully he will be a good boy and go! (he is the reason I am in Nursery!)  The Sunday before Christmas we had the kids make these hand ornaments, and when I got home, I laminated mine so we could keep it forever.  I kinda love it!

Bath Boy

This boy (like his brother Greyson, and unlike his brother Gavin) LOVES his Bath!  I used to put Greyson in the bath when he was having a rough day and he would become so happy (and it still helps today for him too!)  Baths do the same for Garett.

Kindergarten Christmas Party

On December 19th, Gavin had his Kindergarten Christmas Party.  At the beginning of the year, when we had back to school night, there were signups for the class parties for the year.  I asked Gavin which ones he wanted me to help with and he said Christmas and Valentines Day, so those are the 2 I signed up for.  I was asked to bring the drinks and to make these cute snowman cups.  I only burned my hand once and they turned out so cute.

Gavin had so much fun at his party and giving his teacher her Christmas Gift.  He loves Kindergarten, school and his teacher!

Santa 2014

Of course we took the boys to see Santa this year, and just like in years past, we went to Walmart.  Because it is free!  Gavin loved seeing Santa and Greyson and Garett were a little scared, but did so good.  I am glad I got a good picture this year, which reminds me that I need to go to Walmart and see if they still have the picture they took :)

SNOW

We got a lot of snow on Christmas day and the weekend after Christmas.  The boys were so excited and ask all the time to go shovel in it.  This was Monday the 29th after the biggest snow storm.  We haven't had this much snow in Eagle Mountain since I was pregnant with Gavin.  A couple years ago, we bought Gavin a little shovel from Harmons.  Last year while I was in the hospital having Garett, Greyson wanted to shovel with Gavin but there was only 1 shovel.  So, I bought a couple more shovels so we have 3 now, no more fighting and everyone has a shovel!

Christmas Eve Pajamas

After Temple Square, we drove home trying to find something open to eat, and there was basically nothing. It was ridiculous! So we bought some snacks at Maverik and went home to open Christmas Eve pajamas.  I tied fleece blankets for the boys this year too and gave Gavin and Greyson slippers.  Garett wasn't having any of it.  He was tired and hungry!

Christmas Eve (Lights on Temple Square)

This year for Christmas Eve, Mike's sister Michelle came into town and wasn't staying for very long.  So Mike wanted to spend some time with her while she was here.  They wanted to go to Temple Square to see the lights so we meet them up there.  It was a nice night and we had a lot of fun together as a family and seeing family.

We got so many comments about the boys hats.  The day after Thanksgiving we went to the BX up at Hill Air Force Base and Mike found these animal hats with mittens attached to the hats.  Gavin has a Dalmatian Dog hat, Greyson has a Tiger and Garett has a Moose.  Everyone that sees them loves them, and the boys love them too!

These Boys

I love these two boys! And I love that they love each other.
