Griswald Christmas Favorites of 2010


Effective December 1st, Sparkler based fireworks became legal in AZ...
Yee haw!
Bowling for Papa's Birthday
The javalinas ate my poinsettias.
Seriously.
Gingerbread Making on Christmas Eve.
Ice Skating on Christmas Eve.
I carried Max around like this for nearly an hour.
Proud to say... by the end, he could stand up by himself.
Not proud to say... by the end, I couldn't.
Kamikaze is a Japanese word that came about around WW2.  They were aerial suicide attacks by the military where a pilot would fly their aircraft into their enemies ships or the like.  These attacks started happening after their military had suffered several critical military defeats. 
This is Kamikaze Benton.
 I literally thought he was throwing himself into everybody and everything on purpose.

He's begging to go back before school starts.
I always buy the kids Christmas pajamas from Lands End.
I can usually find matching pajamas for them all at one spot.
Plus, I like the quality.
One day this season, Aubrey was perusing the Lands End catalogue that had arrived in the mail.
Knowing I always buy their Christmas pajamas from there, she starts to guess at which ones I had chosen.
She points directly at these ones (see kids in picture) and says,
"I hope it's not these, they are ugly!"
No, Preston is not singing.

The favorite presents this year...
Belly balls and Harry Potter wands.

And they all settled down for a long winters nap.
The end.

You post all this and not a single thing about me and Missy! Even after we had a very long conversation on Facebook! What is this!

That is Samuel speaking. What are belly balls and where do you get them?
