christmas with garrans folks~

next on our christmas adventures was a trip to my in laws house to do some christmas celebrating with them. the boys also enjoy spending time with garrans family too.
here are a few highlights of our trip and time out there!

-this is how you can tell when your kids are getting a little tired of traveling. cullan put himself in his pillow case and fell asleep.--this year we drew names for families instead of drawing individuals names. we decided to do date nights or family nights baskets. we got garrans parents name so we did a date night basket. it was so much fun to put together. i had to hold it on my lap because i was worried about it tipping over. so you guessed it, it was on my lap the whole trip there!-

-the boys opening presents-

-cullan helping grandma with their gift to them-

-just a picture of my cute husband-

-can you tell my hubby is around more now that he is on break. i am trying to take as many pictures as i can to remember that he was actually with us. LOL-

-yep that is kael eating a small candy bar, paper and all-

-cullan has a love of glasses right now. he found these play glasses at grandmas house and wore them almost the whole time-

-the boys "helping" grandma make cookies. i am not sure how much help they were but they sure had fun.-

-cullan cutting out sugar cookies--delivering his hard work to daddy and uncle sam. willing taste testers! --really getting into helping. he loves to cook, bake, anything that has to do with making stuff in the kitchen. who knows maybe we have a chef in the making.--candy cane in one hand, on the look out for cookies. i think both my boys got a little spoiled on the sweet treats that seem to accompany christmas time.-

we had a nice visit with garrans family and then headed home. while we had a great time, it is nice to be home. especially since we have nothing but nasty weather in the forecast. oh well. we are grateful for the time that we were able to visit with all our family and that we were able to do so safely.

we have had a very merry christmas and hope everyone else did too!
