Ice Forum

Fun day with the Griners trying out a new skating rink and getting ready for the new year!

Barn Time

Trying out her new saddle and enjoying some girl time this morning.

Beauty with "the BEASTS"

One special Christmas gift from Nanny and Papadad was a "kids only" day at the theater to see Beauty and the Beast.  What a wonderful experience it was for the grands!

Girls Day Out

This beats ANY mother/daughter shopping outing!

Lake Keowee Christmas

Another amazing Christmas celebration with the Puts and Pits at Lake Keowee.  Yet again, we were SPOILED with an ABUNDANCE of awesome gifts, delish food and wonderful, wonderful family fellowship.  Blessed is an understatement.

Christmas Morning

 Santa came!  Santa came!  What a WONDERFUL morning with our family!

Twas the Night Before Christmas...

Loved our evening at Nan and Granddaddy's house for dinner and gifts (waaay to good to us, I might add) followed by a quiet night at home reading stories and getting ready for Santa!  Hope the big guy visits us tonight!!!

NPB14

One of our fave Christmas traditions--the Annual North Pole Breakfast.  This years edition included Minute to Win It and the addition of Christmas karaoke!

Mommy/Daughter Time

One of my favorite ways to spend time with this girl...great lessons for both of us today!

Lights of Life

Well, Lake Lanier Lights was a bust this year, the line to even get to the entrance was around 5 miles long.  Instead, we tried out a new venue called Life University in Marietta and were VERY pleased with our night out.  We enjoyed the lights and the village, and had a great dinner at the Marietta Diner afterwards.  Love our Griner Christmas traditions!

Classic Christmas

What a wonderful morning we had having breakfast with Santa, riding the train, jumping in the bounce houses, but most of all ice skating at Classic Center Christmas in Athens.  What a way to start off the holiday break!!!

Jingle Girls

These cuties had a great afternoon getting ready for the holidays!

2nd Grade Breakfast

This guy was so lucky to have his Granddaddy join him at his school breakfast today!

Gingerbread and Cole Springs

Tonight marked the beginning of the first of several Christmas traditions with the sweet kiddos all together again.  Gingerbread house decorating and a visit to Cole Springs lights to get the season going.  Looking forward to much more fun!
