Amos' Birthday

We love birthdays at our house. The birthday person gets a cake of choice (always made by me), and him or her gets to choose what we do all day. Activities and where and when we eat. It is always so much fun. Amos got a BYU cake this year.

Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas? Here are the kids in their Christmas Jammies! Robes, jammies and matching slippers! These are still a favorite even 5 months later!

Enrichment Ideas

Help! I am the Enrichment Leader in our ward and I need your ideas on good Enrichment Activity ideas. If you have done something fun in your ward please tell me about it. I am trying to plan for the upcoming year and I am in need of some new fresh ideas. Thanks!

I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas and a Happy New Year. I would post more, but our computer is being crazy....you would think I could get that fixed because Amos is, however, a "computer boy." Yea right, I probably need to fill out a help ticket and send it to his work, maybe that would work.

Our Baby is Two!

Kellie turned two this past weekend. We celebrated by taking her to Build-a-Bear. She picked out the cutest bear with a denim dress and croc shoes (just like hers). She calls him Ba Bear (I think she is trying to say Care Bear).

She still has the cutest chubby cheeks and curly hair that we all adore!


Sadie and Paden helping her open presents from them.

This is Ba Bear and this is where she sleeps every night (of course the bear has to take off her dress and shoes before bed).

The Annual Hunt for the Griswold Family Christmas Tree

Our annual search for our 13 foot Christmas Tree was a week early this year but the search ended in a superb find none-the-less.

That is Amos in the tree he had to climb to cut down our 13 feet. He is the yellow speck.

My Helpers in the Kitchen

The kids love helping me make dinner especially when I am grinding wheat! My helpers couldn't be cuter!

Halloween Fun!

What do Belle, a Pirate, Richard Simmons, a Sweatin' to the Oldies success story, and a rocker have in common. Nothing other than our families Halloween costumes. Halloween was super fun this year. We had a big fire in our driveway, donuts and hot chocolate and million trick-or-treaters. Here are a few pics of our costumes. I have a better pic of Kellie as Richard Simmons, but it is on our old camera because our new camera was lost for a month and we finally found it right before Halloween. Yea!

Sadie as "Belle"

Paden as a Pirate

Kellie as Richard Simmons (try to imagine her without the tights and long sleeve white shirt that were added just to keep warm for trick-or-treating)
