Trip to the Fire Station

The kiddos were fortunate enough to be "practice dummies" for the firefighters in training yesterday morning. We have a few firefighter friends who asked us to use the kiddo in a paramedic training. While we were there, we got a little tour of the firehouse and the trucks. We had a great time and were able to check the Fire Station off of the home school field trips for the year!






Griswold Family Christmas Tree

So yesterday we fulfilled our Griswold family Christmas tradition and cut down our Christmas tree. It was a beautiful day, a little brisk, but nothing these southerners can't handle.





B had a great time! As you can see, B and J did most of the work!











The tree stands about 18 feet tall! We love it! I think that its the best one yet!











We spent the afternoon trimming!












And starting to wrap a few presents....look out, J is on her way to your house!

Time Flies

I was just looking for some new pics to post...thought some old ones might be more fun today. Can you figure out who is who?


























Behold, children are a heritage
from the LORD,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a
warrior,
So are the children of one's
youth.
Happy is the man who has his
quiver full of them;
They shall not be ashamed,
But shall speak with their
enemies in the gate.

Psalm 127:3-5

Sweet November

Meow. Meow. Have you ever seen a cat eat a pumpkin? Its quite a sight!







We had a great night trick-or-treating. J really got the hang of the whole thing, while B only hit a few houses and then back home for a dinner and bed. The girls came home with a TON of candy...the candy fairy is visiting tonight...he takes all of the candy in exchange for a little gift. I love it! Its the greatest way for the candy to be gone!
Happy November!...its officially Christmas shopping season around here, so send your lists our way!
