Busy times

Well with the holidays, illnesses, computer viruses and the like- we've been too busy to get on here and share pictures. Griffin is now driving and Avery just went off to college...ok, it hasn't been that long.

This past weekend was our extended family Christmas party. Avery actually sat on Santa's lap this year. As you can see from the pictures, she was still very cautious. A shout out to Grandma Elley for the beautiful Hello Kitty party dress too. Avery is on her second cold in 6 weeks, broken up only by the stomach flu. She was a little whiney that night.





Griffin just had a good time being held by Grandma Elley.




In other Griffin news, he and Gwen have become close friends.



And Chris had fun making Christmas cookies called "curoivie" (pronounced kuh-rah-vee)- a recipe from Grandma Emma.



Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays if we don't get on here any sooner.

Santa!

We are behind on posting pictures again, but for those who are out there, here is a picture of Avery and Santa. We were able to visit him when we were up north this past weekend. This is the closest she has gotten to him yet (without crying!)! She sure looks like a big girl and certainly acts like it as well.

Weeks 3 and 4

We've been busy over the past few weeks, particularly with staying healthy! Avery has had a nasty cold that we've managed to keep away from Griffin (fingers crossed). Chris was not so lucky.

Griffin is growing and growing and is starting to smile more and react to weird things we do.

Check out our pictures over the past few weeks!

Halloween & Fall Fest

We had a busy weekend! We went to the Mildale Fall Fest this past weekend and Grandma Jan and Uncle Rick were in town and came with us. This was the first time Chris didn't have to work!







On Halloween Avery was dressed as a bat and Griffin was dressed up as a Chipotle burrito. He didn't leave his car seat because it was a little chilly out. We had a fun weekend!

Week Two

Griffin was two weeks old a few days ago. We had some visitors over the weekend- Grandma Jan and Uncle Rick. Grandpa Ed also came to visit!
