The Last Few Weeks...

After Thanksgiving, the last few weeks of the semester were FOREVER long! They were long without very much motivation from the both of us. It was very difficult to want to study or do any assignments but we survived! We both passed all of our classes which is happy and a relief and we are happy to be on break! Things that we did during these weeks..

1. Took Elle, David, and Graham's family pictures! Garrett is the best assistant for making babies smile and for getting them to look!

 

 

 

 *Garrett LOVES showing his nephews around*

2. Took my student teaching picture and got all of my papers and information submitted! I will interview in January and hopefully will get a spot for the Spring. 

3. Jon and Katrina got a golden retriever puppy! Seriously we were so excited! Garrett came up with a few name ideas for him and they picked one that Garrett suggested! His name is Tucker! Tucker the puppy dog! 

We puppy sat for them for a few hours right before we left for break and Tucker was a crazy/naughty puppy. He had a little accident, grabbed the rug and drug it across the room, took a bite at the blinds, etc. It was kind of funny but a little stressful. 

Elle and I also took Graham over to see the puppy! And it was as cute as you would imagine that it would be. Tucker would lick Graham and Graham would smile and laugh. Then we would get so excited that he would accidentally grab Tucker's hair/skin. It was the cutest thing. 

4. We (meaning mostly Garrett) made the cutest little gifts for a few people! We made little elves and Santas out of mason jars! They turned out adorable. As we know, I usually come up with the ideas and Garrett makes it happen and makes it turn out a million times better than I imagined. 

5. I'm an obsessive Aunt to both of my nephews but having Graham so close makes me extra obsessed. I only saw him a million times in those few weeks. But I have to soak it up while we are living close to each other. You might start to think that Graham is my child because of all the pictures that I post of him but I can assure you that he is not, we just really love each other. 

6. We received lots of Christmas cards and we loved each of them. We just happened to take a picture with Garth's. 

7. NOT PICTURED: a. us studying/doing homework b. us watching way too much Royal Pains c. us anxiously awaiting Christmas. Christmas post will be up soon! Can't believe it came and is already gone!
