Matt returned back to the Tri-cities in early December because he ran out of vacation. This meant that I needed to drive to Richland with Knox, Griffen, and the dog. Oh joy! The trip really wasn't too bad. The pass was clear and we made it with only 1 stop for Knox.
Grandma and Papa Demiter had 1 full house this holiday. We were so lucky to have all of the siblings together for Christmas. Griffen was the most excited because he had the chance to play with all of his cousins.
Matt was on call for Christmas Eve and took the shift thinking that if he got called it would only be for a few hours to transport. Boy were we wrong! Matt had his 1st transport at 11am and then didn't get home until 11pm so we didn't get to spend much time together. He was on shift at the station for Christmas day so we made sure to get up with plenty of time to spend with the kiddos before he left for work.
Asa and Taine were up at 6:30am so Griffen followed suit. It could have been much worse as far as waking times go. We all headed downstairs and Griffen was pretty excited about his new scooter and helmet. He loved his stocking stuffers along with the Ben 10 toys that came from Matt and I. Knox even got a few gifts from the grandparents.
We made sure to make a trip to the fire station to visit Matt and spend some time with him on Christmas.
Griffen was able to break in his new scooter and face planted on the cement cart path behind Grandma and Papa's house. He went full speed down the hill, no helmet, and lost control. His face was pretty hashed up but it healed fairly well.
It was great to have the entire family together for Christmas and with 5 siblings there wasn't too much drama.
Matt and I have decided that we will alternate holidays in Richland and travel there the years that Griffen is with us so he has the chance to see everyone too.
Merry Christmas!
