Christmas with the Griffith's!

We had a great time, although short, in Penrose. Both of Tim's siblings and their families were able to be there for Christmas. (Well, it was the week before Christmas). We enjoyed time with Tim's parents, Phil, Beth, Nathan, Ruth and all the kiddos. It was great to see everyone and meet the newest member of the Griffith's - miss Amanda Hope.

Not sure...but they were looking at something on YouTube...or shopping...

Anna and Ethan were two little peas in a pod this visit. They had loads of fun together.

Clothing is always a popular gift from Paul! The men had to pose for a picture:)

Jacob received a big croquet set...he can't wait until Spring/Summer

Grampy found a NASCAR blanket for Ethan. It's now proudly on his bed and keeps him nice a cuddly warm. It's SOOOOO soft. :) (Thanks Ken's Trading Post)

The one request to Santa from Ethan was to receive Mr. The King. He was thrilled to open this gift.
Ah the smiles!
Grampy opening his box of presents from Jesus. Each was a wrapped gift with a verse and reminder of the forever gifts from our Lord. I personally enjoyed hearing about each gift.

Time with Uncle Nathan.
Time with Aunt Ruth
All the kiddos (minus the itty bitty one, Amanda) Ethan, Anna, Lydia, Alyssa, Jacob and Mayah
Grampy was laughing so hard! The kids had tons of fun with Grampy...it all started with him reading the book "wrong" and Ethan knew what the real words were....then it just turned into a giggling silly time with the Grand kids.

More giggles! Okay kids...enough...Grampy can't laugh anymore and it's bedtime!

We always have a tractor "hay" ride. This time we sat on packages of insulation. It was more comfortable and warmer than hay.





Jacob wanted to help the big boys rearrange the garage.


Ethan "driving" the tractor

Time with Aunt Beth. Alyssa holding Amanda and Anna and Ethan listening to the story.

Grammy got out a play Nativity Set for the kids to play with. When they weren't fighting over the pieces it was a hit. :)

Jacob had fun sitting with Grampy whenever he had the chance.
