It's been a while

Holy moly. It has been a long time since I have blogged about anything! I'm such a slacker! Especially because I have a phone full of pictures to upload. With that said, here is a run down of some things that have been going on in the Griggs family.

The the theme at Creekside this years is to be champions. At the beginning of the year, Bailey and Logan had set some goals they needed to accomplish by the end of the first term . Since they were able to achieve their goals, they were awarded gold medals at an assembly. I'm so proud of them.

Yeah yeah, she is cute, but don't let this little face fool you. She is the master of disaster!

Popcorn anyone? Yeah that's right, all this lovely stuff on my stairs is none other than popcorn. Not just any popcorn, yummy movie theater kind! What a waste! Morgan took Carson to go see Cars 2 and brought home the left over popcorn for the kids. Avery decided to stand at the TOP of our stairs and throw the popcorn every where! It's a good thing we have dogs that helped with most of the clean up. Did I ever mention I HATE to vacuum the stairs? Yeah this wasn't fun!

Awe, isn't she a doll?! Yeah, wait til she is left alone in her room for "nap time"

She will get bored and do this!

That's right, goodbye Genesis and Exodus! Poor Bailey was so upset to have lost some of her Bible :( Little stinker!

Thanksgiving has come and gone but one night as a family home evening, I had the fam write what things they are thankful for on strips of paper that we made into a paper chain. I loved how each of the kids had a strip that said family. That is what I am truly grateful for too.

Meet Mr. Gobble. A.K.A our Thanksgiving turkey. Avery fell in love with this frozen bird at the grocery store and named him Gobble. She cuddled that thing right up until I had to put it up on the check out belt. And even then she cried! She told us she wished that "he" could walk.
Let's just say I had to cook the turkey in secret. I had put Mr. Gobble in the fridge three days before Thanksgiving so it had time to thaw out. When ever Avery opened the fridge she would say, awe, look at him! Little does she know that she has eaten her Mr. Gobble on a dinner roll and in enchiladas.

Carson came home from preschool with this cute pilgrim outfit. He kindly told me, with a bold look on his face, that his teacher said he could take it off when he got home :) He he

What better way to start out the Christmas season than with some Christmas carols!
Bailey has been getting up early twice a week to go to choir practice for the Creekside choir. Bailey loves to sing! Here she is after a concert that was held at the Kaysville tabernacle.

Here is to keeping up on our blog. I really have missed it.
