Griffen's 2nd Grade Christmas Program

The Polar Express

Each Christmas season the Polar Express runs from North Bend to Snoqualmie for a visit with Santa. When I heard this I knew I had to take the boys. What I didn't know was that the train sells out very quickly. I was finally able to find tickets on craigslist for the family. We were passengers on the final train of the season. We all had a great time on the train and the boys loved visiting Santa!

Christmas Tree cutting 2012

We searched for about 30 minutes for the perfect tree at Farmer Brown's Tree Farm. After the beaming ray of light came down on the most amazing tree Griffen and Matt went to work to cut it down. Luckily Matt brought along the sawzall just in case the hand saw couldn't do the job. My men, big and little, did a fantastic job! This 9 footer was a beauty!

Back on the court

Basketball season is now under way! Griffen is doing great this year and is really beginning to understand the game. I can't believe the difference in his skill level from last year to this year. There has been a great improvement, especially in his defensive skills.

Thanksgiving 2011

Griffen was home for Thanksgiving so we traveled to Richland to spend Thanksgiving with the Demiter's. There was a wonderful spread of food, a Thanksgiving day backyard football game with the cousins, plenty of laughter, and a good time had by all.
