This is our advent calendar. I let Garrett pick out any candy he wanted to fill it and he choose little packages of pez.
So every morning Garrett wakes up asks what day it is and fills his little reindeer pez dispenser. I've never seen a happier child. 
Here's our beautiful Christmas tree that we went and cut down. This is the best one we found by far. Can you see a special little decoration in the tree?
Garrett added his own little flair this year. He threw this empty 7-up bottle in the tree and was so thrilled that it stuck. He thinks it's the funniest thing ever. So I decided it could stay this year. It's grown on us.
Elf is our favorite Christmas movie this year. Garrett loves it. We've watched it tons of times. We just bought the Polar Express and have been enjoying that for the past few days as well. It's been a nice break from Garrett's favorite movie UP.
This is my wonderful nativity set that my Mother gave me last year. It's not a great pic but this might be the only year it gets used because if you look closely you can see the injured donkey in the front and nobody will fess up.
Other than that we've enjoyed some fun Christmas parties. I made my mothers famous Sugar cookies for a cookie exchange. (They we beautiful and delicious) We've played in the snow a little bit. Grant winterized the snow machines! We managed to not take a family picture in time to get a Christmas card out. I had all my Young Women over to my house yesterday for our Christmas lesson and breakfast. We've shopped and wrapped and curled ribbon and all those fun things and we're excited and ready to head to Boise for Christmas!!!!!!
P.S. we took some quick family pictures yesterday and I'll post them in the next day or too. So stay tuned.

Hey Tiff! So good to read your post. As soon as you guys are back from Boise and have had a chance to breathe, you are coming over to our house for dinner :) Hope your little girl has a wonderful first Christmas!
Both the Pez idea and how you implemented it is AWESOME!!! I love it.
Merry Christmas to the Wilsons!
Tiff!! Looks like you guys had fun celebrating the Christmas season. I still need to see your cute little girl. Let me know when you're in the Rexburg area.
Oh man....Grant better fess up before he lets one of the kids take the blame for broken donkey!
Glad you've been enjoying the holidays and your new baby. I wish I could come over for a visit and hold her, and we could catch up on everything.
Hope you had a great New Years!
And I hope you're surviving life as Young Womens President. (I just got called to be the 'Enrichment Leader' in our new ward. I'm not to thrilled about it either. But, I must remind myself "At least they didn't call me to be the YW President!" I know the girls probably love you. You're young and cute and energetic and funny.....what's not to love about Tiffany Wilson??
Sure do miss ya
That's funny. Our tree looked pretty much the same. We thought it was pretty good for finding it "in the wild" as I like to call it. Growing up in Oregon and cutting your tree down at a Christmas trees farms was a much different/better experience (not to mention better options). While our tree didn't have the 7-up bottle it was decorated from the middle up. I wasn't about to fight Boyd off every five minutes.
