Christmas!

The boys definitely bicker like brothers do, but for the most part, they get along so well.  Whatever Bryant is doing, Garrett has to do.  So if Bryant gets a snack and hangs out in the chair, Garrett does too:)

If Bryant eats a yogurt, so does Garrett.  This big smile was brought to you courtesy of a silly brother making him laugh!


Bryant had his Christmas Program - I have more pictures and hopefully a video to upload later.  I am totally biased, but I thought it was so cute and I was so happy that Bryant was up their smiling, singing, and doing all the hand motions.  I didn't know how my shy boy would do up on stage, but he had a lot of fun.


Bryant grabbed a pillow and sat in the chair...so what did Garrett do?


Stylin' goggles Gare!  This is about the only picture I have of Bryant's decorated tree in his room too.


We got to celebrate Christmas Eve at my parent's house with my brother, his ugly sweater, and his family.  






Wearing the stocking socks.  Zoey and Garrett didn't want to wear them, but Bryant and Reagan thought it was pretty funny!




All the grandkids got a pillow with their name on it.  Garrett loves his pillows!



Christmas Eve jammies...Ninjago


and Hugh Hefner Paw Patrol


Playing hot potato...I love all the reactions in this picture...can't tell if Bryant is about to throw it or if he just got hit!


Garrett was having a blast!



Skyping with Aunt Sheri and Uncle Carl while we opened gifts.




The whole crew!  You can tell our kids were done with pictures at this point because they normally smile for every selfie, but they were so serious in this one!


Getting ready for Santa!



Playing with some toys before bed.  The hover ball is a huge hit.



Garrett's two top canines have been trying to come in and possibly the ones on the bottom too.  Poor kid has been just a bit cranky as he battles those darn teeth.  So he was a bit cranky and tired when he woke up Christmas morning.  Bryant had asked Santa for Dude Perfect (he's watched their trick shot videos on You Tube, so when he saw that they had a game, he knew that's what he wanted from Santa).  So here are the kids reactions to Santa coming:



Once Garrett had a sucker, he started to warm up to the idea of playing and opening presents.






Bryant made this present for us.  I love the bag:)



They made Rudolph ornaments with their school picture on the back.





Yes, this is a book about poop and Garrett loves it.  "Ewww, yucky!"


The boys spent the entire day in their jammies and slippers



Bryant's school did a thing called the Reindeer Express where you send your kid with a list of who they want to buy presents for and $2 for each present.  They shop at school and bring home the wrapped gifts.  Bryant decided he wanted to get presents for his Grandmas and Grandpas.  I think I was most excited for those presents under the tree because I wanted to know what he would pick.  He was so excited the day he shopped because an older kid helped him shop and he was a big Bobcat fan.  I was amazed at the gifts they had and impressed with what Bryant picked out.  He got Grandpa Ed a multi-meter and Grandma Betty a wireless charger.






Grandma Susie got a book and Grandpa Jack got a sprayer for the hose so Bryant can help him water.  I think he really put a lot of thought into each of his gifts.  It was fun to see his excitement as everyone opened his gifts too.



Then it was time for a delicious dinner.  Garrett couldn't wait to drink his milk, so we couldn't get him to look at the camera.


We had such an amazing day and so fun to be able to spend it with our families.  We were all spoiled and exhausted from a full day of festivities.  Thanks to all who helped make this day so special!
