"All I want for Christmas is my right front tooth"

Avery has pulled another tooth. Her right front tooth came out in the back seat of the car with much drama and triumph!

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

Are your children doing the count down to the big day? Visions of scooters, Pixos, and Barbie's dancing in their heads? I know mine is. Here are some pictures from our gingerbread house assembly and a trip to my best friend's in Gatorland (no not the zoo).

Katie & Cami were the hostesses with the mostest for a fun weekend. We built a gingerbread house and went to a Grossology exhibit where we learned about boogers, snot, burps and poop. Probably too much information right? :)

I can't believe how big they are getting!

Merry Christmas to all our family and friends! I hope that you are all doing well and are happy and healthy. We are counting down the days till school is out and then we'll be able to play and enjoy each other. For those of you we will not be able to see this year, we miss you. God bless you all.

Avery and her babysitter Sarah love to go to the duck pond. While there, they made up a song about the mama and baby ducks they saw.

Ok, my friends we are in the thick of holiday preparations. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving on a beautiful day. My mom hosts turkey day and we all ate too much and enjoyed each other's company. I got to be home with Avery the whole week of Thanksgiving and we went on a picnic, to the library, to the movies and worked on our homemade Christmas gifts. I got my whole house decorated for Christmas and CLEAN! We went shopping and I have presents wrapped before Christmas Eve. It was a wonderful week.

I hope you all are taking at least a little bit of time for yourselves. Stop and enjoy the Christmas lights, quit work early and go get a pedicure, or pretend you have a stomach ache and disappear into the bathroom to read that novel you've had sitting for months. Most of all slow down and remember the reason for the season. I hope that the love of Jesus wraps around you and your families.
