Well it's December and the countdown to Christmas has begun in the Spires House. Thanksgiving was great, the kids and I went to CT. It was a good trip, the kids were good and traffic was light. We did manage to leave behind the cold that had been going thru the house, sorry to those that received our gift, tis the season I guess.
Griffin is super dooper (his new phrase) excited about Santa... it is real cute though. He does have a couple things that he wants from the big guy. And there is only one thing that we have no idea what it is this year, something called "talkimoki". We have asked everyone and searched everywhere. We have to take him to Toys R Us to see if he can point it out to us. But the details of the toy are a little sketchy and change frequently. But we have learned that you can't doubt Griffin, he does seem to know what he is talking about. It is an improvement over his list last year, he wanted Brown, just brown so that made for a fun Christmas... At least this year he has more attainable items like a skateboard and drums. We will see what Santa can put together in his toy shop for him.
He went to see Santa on Monday with school. Decorate gingerbread houses on Tuesday. A holiday tea party on Wednesday... the list goes on and on. As a family we picked out and decorated our Christmas tree last weekend and Griffin was such a big helper with the ornaments, there are a few branches that are getting a workout. We also took pictures for our holiday card. I am looking forward to next year when both kids will be a little older and hopefully easier!
Since his class only goes out one time a day they try to release that toddler energy in other ways like dancing... here is a video that I had to shoot yesterday. The music should be one of these kids is doing his own thing, but believe it or not he has picked up the dance quite well. He is an observant guy. He does like to dance, he moves his hips like Ricky Martin, it is impressive. Almost as impressive as the time he asked his father to do a somersault and Andrew almost broke his back doing one... I wish I had that on video. Griffin and Andrew have the occassional dance parties in the living room together. It's so cute.
