Christmas Spirit!!

Our family has really been into the Holiday spirit this week! For Thanksgiving we went down to Monroe and that was lots of fun, we even brought Roscoe!

On Saturday we went and looked for a Christmas tree, but mom and dad were too picky and just couldn't find one perfect enough, so we went home and came back the next day. There was no snow so we drove clear to the top of the mountain and then down the other side, just when we thought we would never find a tree mom found one in the middle of the forest, so dad cut it down and put it on the 4 wheeler. What we didn't realize was that the trees around it were too thick to get the tree out! So we just gave up on it. I was in the car with Kellie taking a nap cause we had been on the mountain FOREVER then I saw my dad coming with the tree, it was a Griswold moment for sure! So we got our tree after all, we had to cut 3 ft. off it to get it in the trailer and it still was 16 ft. tall!

Today Tracy came over and gave us all a lesson on how to make proper paper snowflakes, while she was here we cooked some beautiful Halloween cookies that have been in our freezer for 2 months now (YUM). Tonight we are going to put up our lights outside and if grandpa will build a stand ( the trunk on this tree is too big for regular stands!) We will put the tree up too!

Well that's all for now! Love the Leavitt/ Griswold family

Lynnzie's Birthday Party

Since I (Lynnzie) am the only person in this family that will post anything on this blog I guess I will post pictures of my birthday, it was on the 16th and it was SUPER fun.
I have been begging grandma to make me a pooh bear cake so this year after 14 years of waiting she surprised me! Kyler had a great time and just couldn't get over the cake, he ran in the door screaming "HAPPY LYNNZIE!!" he loved the cake and blew out all the candles before I could get there, then ate 4 pieces of cake, after that him and Josh opened my presents for me.... they are the best little helpers I know, I hope they had as much fun as me!

My mom had Kassidy come up for my birthday and surprised me, we were supposed to be going to deseret book to pick up my shirt that Kristi got me but instead my dad drove us to Cabelas, I didnt want to go to Cabelas so I was whining and didn't even notice that Kassidy was standing in front of the door to Cabelas! We had lots of fun while she was here!
For my birthday I got a shirt & book from the Hurd family, lotion and lip gloss from Tracy and her family, a mat cutter from grandma Janet and grandpa Keith so I can frame all my pictures, and a head board and foot board from my mom and dad and grandpa and grandma Leavitt and Grandpa Jim also gave me a bed skirt! It was fun and I loved it all.

Happy Halloween!
