It's a brand new year!

Griffin had his first experience with "snow" this past weekend. Well, not really but it was cold and there was a very light dusting on the ground. We had quite a bit of snow during his first winter on Earth but I highly doubt he remembers seeing it. Grandpa Don got him some really nice bibs so we went out to get some good use out of them and feed the animals.

We enjoyed our 3 separate Christmases with the Honeycutt family as well. Unfortunately, I only took pictures at two events. Griffin and Briley get along very well and are quite good friends. Briley is the best at helping me keep an eye on the wild little man.

We finally had time to open gifts at home that evening. However, by that point Griffin was very much "over" opening gifts. Note to self, next year take everything out of its packaging and wrap once assembled. He should be more interested in ripping into things then too.

Friday night we opened gifts at Drew's parents.

Christmas 2012 - Part 1

Griffin was very excited to see his Aunt Shasta, Uncle Justin, and Cousin Peyton this holiday. With them living in Maryland, it really makes you appreciate the time together. My parents had a house full of people so it took Mr. shy pants a little while to warm up to all of the faces. Peyton proved she will be a great big sister in May by taking good care of Griffin where ever he went with only minor sharing issues.

of course I had to get coordinating shirts
