Christmas...oops

 So I guess I didn't put any Christmas pictures on from this last year... oops! well here are a few to at least document that we did have fun! 

First Snow... we went to 5 different stores, including both walmarts to find snow boots. kmart was the winner!

 Helping decorate the house for Christmas. He loved putting everything out. 

 and lined all the little ornaments up  in a row. The fishing santa was his favorite.. what a boy!

 thought the chair santa needed a snowman friend...

 but I helped relocate in the right spot...

 showing dad all the new decor. especially cause he did it and didn't get in trouble.

 temptations all season long. He just wanted it to snow.

 "kids" christmas tree, real and colored lights. tradition at my house, and I loved it because we could display our works of art and decorate it ourselves! 

 wrestle time!

 next year there will be two kids... garrett wasn't sure if he like posing in front

 going to build first snowman! he looks ready right?!

eating something... not sure if it's breakfast or lunch 

 but it was plate-licking good...

 went to temple square.. and loving the lights!

 tired and cold little guy. think there were a ton of people he wasn't so sure about. however he did spot trevor who did not come with us... and it really did look like him. we both did double and triple takes to make sure he wasn't secretly there with a girl... :)

 our little family

 oh yeah.. my personal favorite spot... where we got engaged 5 years ago! Holy Cow times has flown!

 sweet view

 and of course if there is water around, garrett will find it...

 and play in it...

 and be happy that he could, until you take him away.

 we rode the front runner down with some of the Christensen Crew... and a million other people who had the same idea... but it was fun!

 making gingerbread men with kate. 

 and when garrett woke up he wanted to help too! they had fun but weren't sure if they liked the ginger cookies by the end... it's an acquired taste I guess.

 on Christmas Eve we all went up and skied at the Beav! 

 Garrett did awesome for his first time and LOVED it!

it was a beautiful warm day (my favorite) and we had a BLAST!!! 

 the newest skier of the family. 

 having a blast

 and decked out in his cute ski gear! couldn't believe they had ski boots and skis that small!

 Christmas PJs ... even for Ryan!

 unwrapping presents was the best. Garrett helped on all of them with the determination on his face like this picture, which is the best because Jordan is holding down the paper just so he would make this face! ;) silly boys!

and of course he knew that there was going to be something good inside, smart kiddo.
