What a fabulous day!! Griff turned 12 today! We let him sluff school too!! Okay - we let him sluff for a good reason.........We took him to the Temple to do some baptisms for the dead with Bryan and me. It was really an amazing experience and we loved being with Griffin in the Oakland Temple
.Once we finished in Oakland, I hurried him back to school. Apparently throughout the day, Griff's friends sang Happy Birthday many times, yelled to him in the hallways and gave him small funny gifts. One of those gifts included a free coupon to NOT have his lunchbox stolen. Ha ha ha!!
The day came to a close with a raging birthday party at our home! Nine of Griff's closest pals, known as The Fellowship met at our home for a Middle Earth Feast, a fire and smores at the Pit of Smordor and a big screen viewing of the first movie in the Trilogy. The feast was awesome!! KFC, baked red potatoes, leafy green salad with v
eges, Hawaiian Sweet Rolls, goblets filled with Sprite or Rootbeer, and a beautiful Chocolate/raspberry cake from Lunardi's!!It's now 10pm and the movie is still going!! I'm still hearing laughs and giggles!! The best part was sitting around the firepit listening to them sing songs from their 5th grade camp experience last year! They've been laughing and chilling all night! I love these boys! I love Griff and I'm so very very proud of the Young Man he has become!
Bry and I have had a great day going through memories of Griff's birth! He was a special boy the day he was born! A miracle in our lives! We love him and adore him to pieces! Sunday Griff will be ordained to the office of a Deacon at church, receive the Aaronic Priesthood, graduate from Primary and join the Young Men's group.
I can't believe he is 12 already!
I love him!
