From the Mouth of our Griffin

At seeing how much snow had fallen overnight, Griffin turned to me, smiled and said, "You know Mommy, I am so glad we have all this snow. It is going to make it much easier for Santa to land his sleigh in our backyard."

--------------------

After I laughed at some funny comment Griffin shared at a recent grocery shopping trip and said, "G - you are so funny. How did you learn to be so funny?"

Griffin thoughtfully replied, "I learned it all from Brennan. He is the funniest person I know Mommy. He can even make petting the dog funny!"

----------------------

One of our favorite holidays books this year has to be Santa Duck. Griffin can not get through it without giggling over the sight of a Duck dressed up as Santa Clause. We have read it a million and one times, but it still brings the funny.

Now, instead of singing Jingle Bells, Griffin roams the house singing "Jingle Quack, Jingle Quack, Jingle Quack, Quack, Quack."

It doesn't get old. Griffin's second favorite holiday song is the Glee version of Jingle Bells. He requests it at least once or twice a day. Ah, his love of all things Glee brings but a tear of pride to my eye. I am hoping Santa brings us the Glee Karaoke game for the Wii. Griffin and I may have to bust out a duet.

----------------------

The end of Toy Story 3 is heartbreaking for me. I can't help but cry. Griffin and I were watching it together when he turned to me with his eyes full of tears. He made a face and said, "Mommy, sometimes this movie makes me really cry some tears."

Then he gave me a hug and said, "I don't ever want to go away to college."

Oh, love. I was tempted to tell him he could just move into our finished basement and go to college here in Buffalo. It would save both of us from much tears.
