Family Christmas Traditions!!!


On the 15th we went shopping for a needy family. It is a Christmas tradition in the Griffiths family. Mom, McKenna, and I went shopping for a one year old girl. It didn't take us very long and we had a lot of fun doing it. Then on Saturday we had our annual Christmas Eve party (early, obviously). We always have a nativity play where the kids dress up in costumes and we listen to Uncle Dale read a the nativity and we sing Christmas carols. I have been the "director" of the play for years. I was an around 12 when I started. Grandma Andersen asked me if I wanted to do the nativity or if I could think of someone else to do it. Madison has been helping me the last couple of years, so she was asked and accepted. I was just her helper this year! She did an excellent job! Yeah Maddie!!! We also have a talent show and McKenna and I sang a Silent Night/O Holy Night duet. I had only practiced it for about a half hour before. We kind of just faked it! Hope it turned out okay!!
I have found a friendship with Deven and Keri and their awesome kids! I find myself hanging out with the oldest two girls. I think they are awesome!! I absolutely love them! Way to raise awesome kids Deven & Keri!!!!
