HEAT!

Here are ALL 4 of my kids fighting for their spot on the register while the heat was on.(Tori,Superstar,Gavin and Jeromy)

Last minute shopping

My mom and my sister Amelia decided we would do some last minute shopping. Or support mom however you want to look at it. The rule seems to be that we can't come home unless there is no more room in the car.(literally)

Gavin's 6 stiches

Our Christmas Tree

This picture doesn't do the tree justice.Tori picked it out and its perfect! And it wouldn't be a kid tree without all the ornaments being at Gavin/Tori height!

Annual Garlits' Christmas Tree Hunt

Tori,Gavin&Larissa

Tori had her friend Larissa stay all night with her. Gavin took advantage of being between 2 girls!

Another trip to the ER

Gavin decided that he did not want to go to my work Christmas party, he wanted to go the ER instead. So a 6:40 he cut his foot with glass and needed 6-7 stiches. He was an absolute angel through the whole thing! They took x-rays to make sure there wasn't any glass in the cut. Then they had to numb him and that made him mad since we had to hold him down. Then pretty much instantly he was numb and sat up and watched them scrub it up. Then we made him lay back and he went to sleep!!!Will post pictures later.

1st Tooth Fairy Visit

The tooth fairy did come last night!

OFFICIAL!!!!!!!!!!!

Tori is NO longer my little girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She went to the movies for the first time with one of her friends, Lexy. They went to see the Bee movie and had pizza.

And to make things even more grown up-----she lost her first
tooth!
Thanks to Shawna(Lexy's mom) for finding the tooth that Tori spit out on the
floor at the movies!

Fall Party

Tori had her first "Fall Party" on Friday. Gavin and I got to go! Gavin sat at Tori's desk with her and shared her food!

It's not "ITCHY" Mommy!

Tori has had this sweater for a year now and every time I convince her to wear it she says it's itchy? Well today was no different but after I fixed her hair for school, she decided she looked

pretty?! AND it wasn't so itchy.

Excuse me,"I'm trying to watch tv!"

Movie Date

Aunt Cheryl, Brandon, Tori, Gavin and I went to the movies to see the 3-D sea monster movie. It was pretty neat. Then we went to eat at Garfield's. Played at the Big Bear. Shopped then came back home.

"Why can't I sleep with you Mommy?"

This is the exact reason!!!!!
