Christmas Day At The Griners!

The Griner family Christmas was filled with early morning fun!! It all started around 6 am and Santa definatley made a stop with fun presents. Landon wanted a race track and he got a nice long one. Addi wanted a pink Cinderella dress and she wore it all day. John and Andi both asked for money, so Santa brought them each a money tree. It was a fun, fun day. Aunt Samantha, Uncle Dave and Kaori came over for a Christmas dinner later in the day. We had a really nice visit. It is always kind of bitter sweet when Christmas Day is over. I enjoy the anticipation, planning, and festivities of this time of year so much. Luckily, our Christmas goes on because tomorrow we leave for Timberline Ski resort in West Virginia. We will be there for one week and are really looking forward to some rest, relaxation and of course skiing!! Until then......

We had the church youth group over on Sunday night for a Christmas party. Here are a couple of pics of them sitting in a circle doing their gag gifts. It was quite entertaining.

I am glad you all had a great Christmas. I love that Addi was unhappy that her Christmas dress wasn't pink. And I am glad she got a pink dress.We are big fans of pink at my house too.(well maybe not Chris)What a great idea to do a money tree.
