Our First Christmas Together!

This is my in-laws backyard!! It is so beautiful up there!

Here's my father-in-law, Bill...studying Lehi's dream!

Josh and his mama, so cute!

Josh and his Granny Eldora

Tater was so pooped out after all the Christmas fun!

This is Granny Eldora, she is absolutely adorable!

My adorable hubby!

...until he finally found the game!

Josh only asked for one present for Christmas...a PS3 game. He had opened everything else and was on his last present; I had made him a blanket and hid the game inside...he was so disappointed...

Tater was spoiled...he's eating treats out of Ila's hand!

If you look closely, you can see that Riggy is hiding from Tater...he's actually being hunted by the big kitty!

Tater completely took over the house, he ate all of Riggy's food, spilled his water, ate (yes, ate!) his toys, and stole his bed...he is a tad large for it!

The Griffin Home

Tatey came out of the cage for a few minutes...he loved riding like this!

The Jeep...it was just a little frozen!

So, you can't really see it in this picture, but the road is just a big sheet of ice! It was like this most of the way there.

Merry Christmas from Tater Claus!!

2008 truly was our first Christmas together, last year, in 2007, Josh came with me to California to meet my family. He was only able to be in Gridley for like 36 hours due to his work schedule. But, my parents threw us a wonderful engagement party, and he flew back to Colorado the day before Christmas. So, this year, we went to Montana! We spent Christmas with Josh's parents, Bill and Ila Kaye. It was awesome!! It was my first official white Christmas...it was really white! There was SO much snow up there! We took Tater the wondercat and introduced him to Riggy the old gray cat Bill and Ila have. It was so much fun to spend the week with Josh's parents, they are such wonderful in-laws! We are so very blessed, it was so great to celebrate the Savior's birth with family. I have to admit that I did miss my family, the only Christmas I have spent away from home was on my mission. But, Bill and Ila are so fantastic, we had so much fun! I am so grateful to have such a wonderful husband and family.
