Christmas fun

Christmas break is going fast! It has been so nice to just relax and really not know what day it is! I've taken many naps, played with lots of Aiden's Christmas toys, and also played cars and trucks with Aiden!! Aiden is speaking in complete sentences, which is tons of fun! Some of the things he says are hilarious!! Here are a few fun pictures of things we have done this week....

Aunt Amanda and Aiden spent the afternoon decorating a "Ginger-man's" house!! Aiden did great decorating the house, until papa showed Aiden he could eat the candies. Aiden really liked squeezing the icing, also.

Grandma and Grandpa came up this year to celebrate with us. It was so nice to have them with us.

I think this picture captures the JOY of Christmas!!
Aiden had so much fun opening all his presents.

He was one spoiled little boy!

The boys looked so cute in their matching shirts.

They wouldn't cooperate for pictures, though!! Like Father, Like son!

Can you say Griswold? This is only PART of dad's light display. He has become the talk of the town. Rumor has it he will have competition next year!!

FUR-ever friends!

"Merry Trismas"

O Come All Ye Faithful

Only 5 days to Christmas! I can hardly believe how fast it has come this year. I've been really excited this year; decorating early, shopping early, counting down the days, spreading Christmas cheer...but last week I got in a funk. Not really sure why.

I was coming back from Church today, and heard a familiar song. It struck a cord with me, in a way it had not, before. I'll share them with you. I truly feel God was speaking to me in that moment; calling me to come and behold my King! Some how over the past week I lost sight of what this upcoming week is truly about. My prayer for you this week is that you hear a song, read a bible verse, or hear a gentle word from a friend, and know that it is God's peace being spoken just for you.

O Come, All Ye Faithful,
Joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, to Bethlehem,
Come and behold him,
Born the King of Angels!
O come, let us adore him
Jesus the Lord.

Sing, choirs of Angels
sing in Exaltation
sing all ye citizens of Heav'n
Glory to God-
Glory in the Highest!
O come, let us adore him,
Jesus

Come and Behold him
Born the King of Angels

Yea, Lord, we greet thee,
Born this happy morning;
Jesus, to thee be all glory giv'n;
Word of the Father,
Now in flesh appearing,

O come, let us adore him

Its Christmas!

Mom wondered if I was blogging anymore. I signed on today and my background was still Thanksgiving turkeys!!! So I'm a little behind...oh well! Here are some fun pictures of the last few weeks/months.

Say Cheese!

One of the joys of having Aiden around is learning about all of those boy things...trucks, tractors, plows, and John Deer Gator 4-wheelers!

All the grandkids have their hand and foot-prints on the wall at grandma's house. Aiden and Jessica have been added to the wall! Aiden thought this was lots of fun!!

Liberal is home of the Mid-America Air Museum. Since Aiden has shown and interest in planes this year we thought it would be fun to take him...he had a good time. Yes, thats my dad sitting in the plane! I kinda think dad had a little too much fun!!!

The boys!

Santa came to John Deer dealership this past weekend. The middle pic is of Aiden with grandma Hatfield (on a Gator)!

Merry Christmas!

I managed to get Aiden to sit for a second so I could get this picture. He would sit and jump up really fast and run off. He looked at me with those sweet blue eyes and said, "Aiden funny"! He was onry! But we'll let him think he's funny.
