Mary Paul Turns 2 and Addi Looks Like a "Who" !

Last weekend we went to Mary Paul's Second birthday party on Saturday. It was just a day trip but it was a lot of fun!! Mary Paul is so funny and full of personality! She knows what she wants and when she wants it and is quite the little ham!!! She had a good time at her birthday party and all the cousins had fun too! Happy Birthday to Mary Paul!

On Tuesday night we FINALLY decorated our tree. It has been up with lights since before Thanksgiving but I did not want to decorate it until everyone could be home. It took us that long and Mom saying," No one make any plans for Tuesday night!" for us to get our decorations up. We had a lot of fun decorating the tree all together and I got more video than pictures, but here are a few.

Sunday morning I had to take a couple pics of Landon and Addi because they were in such great moods and Addi looked like either an elf or a Who from Who-ville! Her outfit was quite loud but it was too funny not to wear. She got a lot of attention at church and she loved it!!

This weekend we are having a very Christmasy weekend as my family comes to town for some Gatlinburg fun! Us and about a million other people probably, but it should be fun! It will be a really busy weekend because the kids band Christmas concert is Sunday afternoon after covered dish and then the church preschool Christmas party is after the concert. Crazy schedule!!

So, until the next post...Ho, Ho, Ho!!!

Wonderful pictures. I'm sure waiting to be together to decorate the tree was worthwhile.

Fun times at the Griner house! I just love her elf outfit! To cute. Those tights are great. The party pics are so good and Mary Paul looked super cute. Kaori looks pretty cute too!

What great pics! Mary Paul reminds me of Ryan in those pigtails for some reason. All the kids look adorable!
