The Grimes Family: December 2011

Good bye house!

We offically moved out of our house on December 27, 2011.

The movers came on Tuesday December 27, 2011. They moved very quick they had most of the house packed up in one day.

It's crazy to see all your stuff packed up!

All our stuff rolling out! See ya in 3 years!! It is still kinda crazy to see our house completely empty.

Hanging with the Bernals

We went to Castaway Cafe in Howell on December 26, 2011 to hang out with the Bernals and Steakleys before we move to China. The kids (and dads) had fun climbing and sliding!

Hannah jumping

Acting a little silly!

Ben too!!

More silliness!

The kids! The kids also got spoiled by Aunt Susan & Uncle John!! Thanks for the great gifts!! We will miss you guys!

We spent Christmas Day at Grandma & Papa's house. The kids got spoiled by everyone.

Tired out from opening all his gifts! Sleeping with his new friend Woody!

We spent Christmas Eve at Bill and Barb's house. We had fun hanging out with the Grimes family. It was also a little bit of a sad day, we brought Lucy & Molly to live with Aunt Barb and Uncle Bill for the next 3 years while we are in China...we can't thank them enough for taking in our dogs!! Thank you again!!

Uncle Bill & Ben just relaxing!

Of course Aunt Barb and Uncle Bill spoiled the kids a little!! Thanks again for the wonderful gifts!!

Ben 4 Months Old

Ben turned 4 months old on Christmas Eve. He is getting so big! He now weighs 16lbs. 9ozs. He is almost rolling over and has found his hands. He grabs his toys and chews on them.

We can't wait to see him grow even more everyday!!

Kenzie's last day at Little Rockets Shooting Stars Preschool

Kenzie's last day at New Haven was on December 21, 2011. They had their Christmas party so Hannah, Ben and I also went. They made candycanes.

Decorated and ate cookies

Played with the other kids and their siblings

Played BINGO!

And sang us some songs.
