Christmas!

Better late than never right? Our Christmas was great! Christmas Eve we went to the extended Halligan family party then right over to the Jacobson party. Christmas day, Garrett kept waking up every couple hours and when I woke up for a second at like 5:30 he sat straight up and checked the time, I knew then we were going to be opening presents earlier than we thought. So we got up, opened all our presents and hung out for a couple hours, then G ran to the store to get some milk for our breakfast and we went back to sleep and woke up a few hours later. It actually worked out great! We loved staying home all day on Christmas! My parents came by for a little bit to check out our stuff and then later that night we went out to Garrett's parents house and exchanged gifts and had a big ping pong tournament. We had a perfect Christmas this year!!

All our presents...
I feel guilty, we spoiled each other way too much...
We love shopping for each other and playing Santa!

At the Jacobson party:
Sadie was Garrett's lil buddy all night,
she kept coming up to him and sitting on his lap all night! It was so cute!

Even Carson got spoiled by our families!


The chaos
The princesses, they loooved the Princess dress-ups they got!

Brandi or Travis had Garrett's name for Christmas
(Garrett had Travis so they just went to Cabellas and picked stuff out). Garrett said he was excited for some of Brandi's famous wrapping and so she decided to go all the way with his and wrapped every individual little fishing lure and even put gold fish in the box!! Everyone was getting kind of bored watching Garrett open his present becaues it took forever but Garrett loved it!
His fishies, he says he can use them for bait... :(

Sadie and Brody were fascinated with all his fishing stuff and the fishies...
Me with some of my present from Bon (my mom)

We don't have a fish bowl so the fishies are in pitchers! (yes I'll wash them very good before we use them again)

These were our big surprises to each other...
Garrett, just realizing what his surprise was

He loved it!
It is still next to our bed and he always picks "her" up and just plays with her in the mornings.

Modeling some of my presents
My surprise from G, he did good! I didn't even know I wanted one but I love it now, my jewelry was all over our dresser and it was a mess...
Garrett's loot from Santa and others.
Yes, we still put all of our stuff out in a pile and take pictures... We're such kids!! :)
