Griffin

Here is the latest with Griffin. He started Upwards basketball a few weekends ago at our church. Brent is the coach, and Steve is the assistant coach. I only got a few pictures of them. Griffin is #3 and Kaleigh is #14.

Last week he lost one of his top front teeth. Here is what he looked like.

Tonight he lost another top tooth so he is especially snaggle toothed at the moment.

Burgerham

Cute story. Gray often comments on what color a person likes based on their favorite sports team. So for example, it is assumed that Uncle Adam's favorite color is red because he likes Alabama. He is constantly talking about what color Uncle Adam likes whenever we play a board game. So today he said Uncle Adam would pick red because of Alabama. Then he asked, "why him live in Burgerham?". That is supposed to be Birmingham.

Funny story

Last week the kids got out of school on Thursday because of the snow. I remember telling Griffin that I wondered if school was going to be cancelled for Friday too. He said, "Well, it is all up to Mrs Cribbs". I asked him, "why does Mrs Cribbs get to decide if you have school?". Griffin replied, "Well, she is the school canceller". Yes, Mrs Cribbs is the school guidance counselour. Thought that was a cute comment.

Santa Brunch

On Saturday we took the kids to have a brunch with Santa at the botanical gardens. It is one of our favorite holiday things to do with the kids. Santa comes around to each table to talk with each kid. Then you can also go up and sit on his lap and read your Christmas list. Here are the 3 kids before the brunch started. Griffin was starving!

Santa dropped by the table for a visit with the boys.

Little Ashby has been sprung from her high chair.

She was very curious about Santa.

No crying this year!

Griffin read his list to Santa.

Gray was super excited to sit on his lap.

All 3 kids on Santa's lap.

Little bit of snow

On Monday we got a little bit of snow. Maybe 2 inches- enough to play in but not enough to keep Griffin home from school. So Gray and I went outside to play a bit. We built a little snowman to surprise Griffin when he got home.

Tomorrow school is already cancelled in anticipation of the snow we may get so hopefully we will have even more time in the snow. Should be fun:)

Yellow Belt

Today Brent took Griffin to taek wondo to test for his yellow belt. He got it and was so excited! Here is a picture of Griffin with instructor Kelly. He even broke a board with his hands- he really loved this part!

Happy Thanksgiving!

This year we are staying put for Thanksgiving. While we miss our families, it is kind of nice to be able to have Brent home and just relax a bit. We have most of our leaves down now so the kids have been playing in them a lot. The boys set the table this year.

I can't believe we got a shot of all 5 of us smiling:)

Three crazy kiddos! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
