Griffin Family

Family skyping with Bryce It was so fun to see you and talk to you Friday!!! You look really great!   Darth Vader came to visit before Christmas! This week has been busy and fun and fast.   Katie and Holly and Dad went with Gma and pa on Monday morning to breakfast.  Wendy and Emma came too.  They celebrated Katie's 14th birthday at Denny's.  We had stuffed crust pizza from Pizza Hut for Katie's birthday evening and had fun celebrating Katie.  Tuesday the girls had dentist appointments and no cavities!  YEAH!! But they are supposed to go back to get their teeth sealed early next year.    Wednesday Katie spent the afternoon with the gparents sewing and getting ready for Christmas.  I think they all had fun.  Guess he told Andy a thing or two.  Somewhere in this week we got all the presents wrapped and treats made and everything ready.   Thursday evening we enjoyed family time and AJ joine...

Holly's first visit to the temple.  She loved it! It's been a busy week as every activity wants to get in a Christmas party or concert or whatever.  I think Monday was our only quiet night all week.   Sunday we went to gma and pas and there was a neighborhood party but we didn't go out of consideration for everyone else (Dad had a nasty cold and we didn't want to share it!) Holly and mom Monday the primary presidency stopped by with a gift and said thank you to me for playing the piano.  That was a nice surprise.  They didn't stay long.   Tuesday Katie had her concert.  They were supposed to be there around 6:30 or so and the concert was supposed to start at 7.  Only it didn't.  So when I got off work at 7:30 and came over I only missed half of the first song.  Great for me.  Bummer for dad who had to sit for a long time waiting! Wednesday the girls (yes Holly is in YW now!!!!) went to the Fullmer's house a...

Breakfast at the ward party with my girls! Ward Party: They had a good turnout.  We had the usual eggs, pancakes, ham, milk and fruit.  Brother Olsen's directing a play and the kids from his play came and sang 3 songs and danced.  It was cute.  Primary did 2 songs and then we did a little sing along.  I played for all of that -- about 6 songs total.  Then santa came.  I was the photographer (but had to give up my camera in the middle to play the piano).  I took a picture of each child on Santa's lap.  I included a couple of my favorites!   Emmalee and Gavin Wright Facker's  Meyer kids Wilkins Meyer's Flores family Davis Family Baker family Cloves Romburgers Johnsons I don't think she likes Santa! Get me outta here! Look!  Santa is fun! Ohlwylers Little angels Shepards
