Wishing you a Merry Christmas!

Tom Cruise who?

Garrett and Ho, ho!

Garrett and his beloved books!

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth!

Hello everyone! Hard to believe its Christmas Eve, I know! I guess no snow for us this year, maybe one day Garrett will be able to build a snowman (he has snow boots to do the job in!). We are spending tonight with my family and then tomorrow enjoying a leisurely day at home. I can't wait to see Garrett open his presents in the morning. He has gotten pretty good at tearing the wrapping paper up into little balls and of course, trying to eat it.

He is finally cutting teeth! At 15 months, he is definitely starting late, but at last! His top two tooth are slowing working there way down and in one picture you can see them pretty good. So between teething and a cold, he has been pretty whiney lately, but it is getting better.

Adam is finally a married man. He and Samantha had their reception Saturday and it went great. The decorations were beautiful. Kendra and Jordan tie the knot on Saturday and that should be our last wedding for awhile.

Well, much to do to get ready for Christmas! Cupcakes to bake! We wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and of course a Happy New Year!

Visiting Santa...

We took Garrett to visit Santa on Saturday. He didn't cry or scream, but he didn't smile either. This is the best one that we got!

Thanksgiving and Missouri

Wow! December already! My how times flies!

We celebrated a wonderful Thanksgiving in Crossville with the Coffey's and then in Jamestown. It was wonderful to see all the family and see Garrett interact with everyone. Garrett loves to put on a show for anyone who will watch. He has learned how to wink and spin around in circles. He said please for the first time the other day. It was so cute! He has also been saying boy and girl a lot lately. It sounds more like gurl, but we get the point.

We have had a busy past couple of weeks. The first week of December we traveled to Missouri to see our dear friends the Legault's and meet their new baby Chase. Unfortuntely I had a little bit of a stomach bug while we were there, but alls well now. Garrett didn't seem too jealous of Chase, but did not like it when he cried. We also welcomed a new member into our family. Collin Joseph Hull was born Friday the 5th weighing in at 9 pounds and 5 ounces. He will be coming to Tennessee in a few weeks and we can't wait to meet him.

Also, wedding season is upon us. Adam and Samantha are tying the knot on December 20th and Kendra and Jordan are getting married December 27th. We will be sooo busy till the first of 2009! Hard to believe, I know!

We are hoping to hear something soon about David's job. Keep us in your prayers that we hear something soon. It's not a matter of it, but just when!

Here are some pictures of Thanksgiving and Missouri! Enjoy the new pictures and get to work on that Christmas shopping!

Family Pictures

New to blogging...

Yes, I have decided to join the blog world and beginning our own. I really enjoy reading our friends Gina and Kristin's blogs and decided to do our own. It is much easier than doing Garrett's normal website and our course I am always short on time.

We are fixing to start our Thanksgiving feast in Crossville with the Coffey's, then celebrate in Jamestown with my family. We are also fixing to head to Missouri to see our great friends Jeremy and Tina and finally get to meet baby Chase. David is still waiting on an academy date and we will hopefully here something very soon. He has enjoyed his time here and has been on many deer hunting trips. Luckily, I have also had time to scrapbook. I think I need to cut down a little bit. Garrett has two completely full scrapbooks and that is only till last April! Not to mention his birthday scrapbook and our trip scrapbook. He will probably have 30 by the time he is 18!

Garrett is learning so many news things. He can repeat most of what you say (as long as they are short). He still calls most things 'that' or 'bull'. His new word is bull and that is what every animal is. He has gotten running down pat. He now runs from me when he does something that he shouldn't be doing. He hates being in the car and mostly screams on any road trip. That is why we have just purchased a DVD player for the car. Hopefully our Missouri road trip will be much easier with it. Garrett seems to love the movie Wizard of Oz. Maybe he knows his Kansas connection :)

I plan on keeping this up to date. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
