We had an action packed week in Iowa celebrating both Thanksgiving and Christmas, and even had a small celebration for Griffin's birthday. He enjoyed the singing and blowing out the candles so much we did it over and over again!
Singing happy birthday
A quick group shot ... the kids were having fun, they were just tired from the 10+ hour car ride to Iowa earlier that day!
Griffin LOVED the party blower thing ... he practiced for a long time to figure out how to use it, then once he figured it out he was so excited he could barely contain himself. He was sweating he was working so hard at it!
Best Friends gotta hug ...
But when you're only 2 years old ...
...hugging always ends in a tackle!
We did a lot of reading with the kids
Me and Gabby
Griffin and Jordan got Christmas pajamas and Elmo slippers and loved them!
Jordan loved showing off her Elmo slippers ... we're not sure what Josh is doing : )
Griffin and Pop Pop
Big Hug

Cooking with Aunt Cookie on Thanksgiving
When he put the brown sugar in the bowl he called it a castle : )
Uncle Jason wrestling with the kids - they had so much fun!
Uncle Jason tickling Griffin ...
A rare picture of everyone smiling and looking at the camera! (And a very obvious belly ... I'm 35 weeks pregnant here)
We saw Santa Claus in town and Griffin was curious at a distance ...
But he was terrified when I asked him to go up to him to get his picture taken!
A weird picture, but kinda cute
Griffin's first candy cane - he LOVED it!
Jordan and Griffin had so much fun together all week ... here they are cheers-ing during lunch time.
We had a tea party!
Playing at the park together
Big Smiles!
Hanging out at Grandpa's farm
Griffin quickly figured out that the hay bale makes a fun slide!
Checking out the wind mill
He really loved pretending to drive the lawn mower!
But all that driving makes a little boy tired!
The uncles and the kids
"Biffin, isn't the farm cool?!"
Griffin loves tractors, so playing on a real one was quite exciting for him!
Being silly with BeBop and Pop before opening presents
Group picture before our Christmas
The adults finally got a decent picture together after the kids were in bed!
