10 Grigg Moments in 2014

February, I went back to work at Cabela's with Benji. In doing so, Tristin became the latest fit model for their toddler clothes. 

May, Tristin started walking. We have yet to be able to keep up with him since. 

May 31st, we celebrated Tristin's first birthday. 

4th of July, we spent with week in Utah and Idaho visiting family and friends. It felt like we had never truly left. 

September, we decided we were ready for a new adventure and made the move to Texas. We are so excited to be here. 

October, Benji and Tristin took their first father/son trip and attended Benji's brother's wedding in Denver.

Halloween.

December, Tristin got his first haircut. He no longer looks like a baby. 

Santa was not a hit this year. 

But Christmas morning was. 

We are so grateful for the adventures and lessons learned this past year and are so excited to see what 2015 has in store for us!

Picnics were had. Naps were enjoyed. Fireworks were watched.

Here are a few of things we are determined to do this season:

1. Perfect the kitchen. By eating this, this, this, this, this, this, this...
2. Pictures by the most talented Cassie.
3. Spend a day in Mesa Falls and Jackson - it has the most beautiful fall leaves
4. Have a picnic.
5. Redecorate the kitchen. I am thinking shelves.
6. Organize the house. 
7. Have the stack books on the nightstand dwindle.
8. Indulging in apple cider. Regularly.
9. Go to a corn maze.
10. Carve a pumpkin.

Saturday.

Saturday was the first official day of Fall.

I am super excited about it.

I LOVE the fall.

Something about the air and smell when it becomes fall.

There is crispness in the air.

I just love it. 

And can't wait for it.

Wherever we live has to have some of all four seasons.

Broncos were watched.

The fair was experienced for the first time.

 

Everything was eaten that could have been.

Tennis was played.

Gourmet breakfast was eaten.

fireworks, baking, cupcakes and the like...

We had a wonderful long holiday weekend with my Mom in town. 

The weekend was spent baking, playing marbles, shopping, firework watching, pedicure getting and boat riding.

This year we decided to combine Christmas and a big birthday celebration

together in Texas the first part of January.

We were so excited to be able to see everyone!

Picture recap.

Uncle Benji accidentally taught Joseph 52 card pick-up.

That was his favorite game to play all weekend long. 

too long...

It's been way too long.

Needless, to say we have been busy the last few weeks.

Christmas.

This year we decided we wanted to spend Christmas day 

together ourselves.

Friday after I got off from work we headed down to Utah to spend

Christmas Eve with my Dad and brother.

Then late Christmas Eve we headed back to our house.

We were able to spend a nice relaxing day on Christmas

spending time together. 

It was the perfect Christmas together.

It's here! Christmas is here! 

I can't believe how fast time has gone!

Our cards went out a little late this year.
But we were still excited to send them out for the first time as for our little family of two.

This year has been a busy year of "firsts" and we have loved it!

We are greatly looking forward to next year to see what is in store for us!

Merry Christmas from our home to yours!

Weekend Recap.

We love the weekend in this house.

But seriously, who doesn't.

The weekend started off by enjoying 

Chick Fil-A for dinner

by the fire place.

Best weekend starter EVER.

Completed Christmas shopping and wrapping.

And catching up with old friends. 

Discovering the best way to cook chicken in the oven

by experimenting and praying the house doesn't burn down.

Much Needed Break.

Thanksgiving this year

we spent it in Denver with Benji's side of the family.

It was a much needed break and getaway from 

everything.

It was pretty uneventful and relaxing most of the weekend

until Saturday morning.

When we had to rush Benji to the doctor's office

to get 3 stitches.

He accidentally stepped on a knife and sliced his foot.

(Sorry for those who don't do well with blood!)

I was pretty proud of myself I was able to stay in the room with him

while the doctor was stitching up his foot. 

I normally don't do well with anything having to do with blood.

Then that evening we went downtown to see the Lion King Musical.

It was incredible!

If you ever get the chance to see it, TAKE it!

Festive.

This weekend as we were wandering around Wal-Mart and Target

we had to, of course, look at the Christmas stuff.

We got really festive.

And decided to put up our Christmas tree and put a wreath on the door.

We decided to get a few ornaments from Target 

until we get my other holiday decor 

that is longing to be put up in the Grigg home

from Utah. 

Happy holidays.
