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

  Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for the first Friday Favorites of 2025! Over the past three weeks, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend more time with Wrenley. She is growing up so much. She is speaking in full sentences and is a clown to boot! We've enjoyed lots of naps in BeBe's bed, playing with baby dolls (one of her favorite things), and since I have to pick her up before 7 a.m. on the days she stays with me, we enjoy getting her favorites: donuts (nonuts) and hotcakes from McDonald's -not at the same time though! Snug as a bug in a rug! She loves her Ky Ky Another favorite is a clean kitchen! We have had our house in a bit of chaos like I'm sure everyone else has with all the holiday festivities (and with Carl being off). I am glad to have everything in its proper place! That ray of sunshine is therapy for my soul! The next thing on my favorites list is Carl's chili. We had it last night and will probably have leftovers for a few day...

Friday Favorites

 Happy January 74th! Ok but really, why does January seem to go on FOREVER?! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites! This was definitely a favorite moment from this week!  Our 47th President, Donald J. Trump! Since Monday was also MLK day, I had the pleasure of watching sweet Wrenley.  Celebrating my niece, Ellie Kate's 15th birthday was definitely a favorite! I also watched Wrenley on Wednesday because she was a little under the weather. She had fun playing and getting lots of ice cream and popsicles! Wrenley will always be my favorite. On this day she wanted to "work" like BeBe. She's so precious, even with her little bedhead! Good Music is a favorite. Play some old-school country music and we are golden :) My favorite meal this week. It seems like forever since I made a home-cooked meal! Cajun baked chicken, corn (because Trey loves corn), broccoli, mashed potatoes with white gravy, and rolls were on the menu, and every...

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends! We made it through another week here on the homestead. Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites :) This week has flown by! On Monday, Wrenley started her new "school year" at daycare. Even though she is in the same school with a lot of the same kids, she moved up and is now officially in PreK! She has had to adjust to new teachers, but seems to like it so far :) She is BeBe's big girl! 💓💓💓 At the beginning of the week, Carl asked if Makena and I wanted to go with him and Trey put some corn and salt blocks out for the deer. Say less, sir! Of course, our answer was yes :) Our chariot and driver Trey and Maggie Hopefully, our hard work pays off! Also came across this guy. He was around 5 ft. long and had 14 rattlers. Don't ask how I know that 😟 We always have a good time when we hang out with our guys, and that is most certainly a favorite! Watching my girl do her thing at work will always be my favorite!...
