Happy 75th Birthday Papaw, and Merry Christmas to All!

Tonight was our Garrett family Christmas in DeWitt, but it was a special Christmas because today was also my Papaw's 75th birthday!  We all kind of played it off like we were only celebrating Christmas and then surprised him with a money tree and cake and ice cream! 
I forgot my camera, so I only took pictures with my phone(I really hate it when I do that!) and they are not the best quality.
Carlie found sweet baby Greyson first thing!

Makena, Eli, and Ellie Kate were having fun playing Cootie
Carlie with her fuzzy ball
And Makena got one, too!  This happens so often that they are mostly okay with it.  At least they're different colors :)
Trey with his new lunchbox....we'll see if he uses it for that or a storage container for his many, many, toy cars!  You never know about T
Carlie with her new lunchbox.  It has her name on it too.
She was a very happy girl.  Someone got her some fake fingernails (didn't ask my opinion) and some other fingernail stuff!  She also got to play Dirty Santa (yes, we all know I detest that game) and yes, she did get a lunchbox, IDENTICAL to Carlie's (only it has her name on it, of course) and NEITHER of them complained!  It's a mini-Christmas miracle!!
 
 
This was our first family Christmas party to attend, but of course there will be more, so stay tuned for MANY more pictures!  Hey, maybe I'll even remember my REAL camera next time :)
 

Happy 75th Birthday, Papaw & Merry Christmas To All!

Friday Favorites

  Happy Friday, friends! Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday favorites. And here they are in no particular order: Last week our preacher told us that he had a surprise for us next week.  I had honestly forgotten about it until Carl mentioned at lunch on Sunday.  Trey said he knew what it was, but he wasn't telling.  It still didn't occur to me what it could be until we arrived at church on Sunday night, and I saw that Trey had a notebook along with his Bible sitting next to him on our pew.  It was him. Trey was the surprise.  He gave a short devotion before our Business Meeting.  He did well, considering it was his first time.  He said the congregation was a lot scarier when you are the one being stared at! This is a big deal because about 7 months ago he realized that he needed Jesus as his Savior.  And that came after about 7 months of me worrying about him, while he was trying to stretch hi...

Friday Favorites

 It's been a hot minute since I've linked up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for a Friday Favorites! This is me trying to get back into my blogging groove :) I came across this little dress last year when we moved, and I knew it would be fit Wrenley this summer! It was Makena's circa 2004.  I just love it when a plan comes together.  A favorite for sure! Look at those babies. Twenty years has flown by. Miss Wrenley Beth. She doesn't look a thing like her momma, but definitely has Aunt Makena's sass! Hopefully as her hair grows, she will get Carlie's curls. We have been doing as much outdoor activities as possible.  That includes one of my favorite things...fishing! Carl, showing off his big bass. We weren't technically bass fishing, but whatever bites. It'll eat! Of course we have also been going to the river.  Our kids weren't able to go with us, so we just took the jet ski.   It has been raining so the water is a gross brown. I didn't s...
