First Lost Tooth!

We have a brand new event for our family. Benjamin lost his first tooth. It had been really loose for almost two weeks and Benjamin begged daily for someone to get it out. (We think it was a bit prematurely loose because he bit apart a lego.) He came home from school with it really loose. Dad was able to pop it out before dinner. It was a good think too because he might have lost it while eating.

We also learned that the tooth fairy must be pretty sneaky. Benjamin woke up at 10:30 just as Mom and Dad were going to bed to find $1.oo under his pillow. She must be pretty stealthy to come when the parents are still awake!

Visit with Santa

Decorating for Christmas and the new tree

Decorating the new tree

Getting the star on top was a challenge since it is a 9ft. tree and we have 9 ft. ceilings

New present from Nana and Papa

Thanks to Nana and Papa we now have an elf named Jumpin Jasper that travels back to Santa each night and reports how the day went for the family. Each morning he is found in a new spot so that he can see all for the new day. Benjamin and Emma love Jumpin Jasper, and we have had some great behavior because he is always watching!

Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful dairy free, since I am still off of dairy for Jacob which was a bit hard to do, Thanksgiving. Here are some pictures of the day.The turkeys that Benjamin and Emma made to decorate.

The turkey Benjamin made a school out of a pinecone.
