Tuesday, Dec. 7
First lost tooth and visit from the toothfairy...wahoo! Ben had to have the dentist pull out the tooth since the permanent tooth was coming in behind the baby tooth. Ben was very brave and sat patiently while the dentist took out the baby tooth. He was very excited to have finally lost a tooth! The tooth fairy was very generous too!

Wow...no pictures this week! We enjoyed Thanksgiving at Great Grandma White's house this year and took the kids to see a new Walt Disney version of A Christmas Carol. It was a fun movie though a little scary for the kids at times.

Nov. 15 through Nov. 21

Not much in the way of pictures this week...

Ben's First Grade Program...it was a packed house and getting pictures was difficult as you can see. So, we ended up taking a few at home with his props from the program.




On Saturday we headed up to Grandma Facer's house...they are putting it up for sale since she passed away on Halloween. They were cleaning it out and letting the grandkids come through and find treasures to take home. Our finds included this Santa Claus snowglobe, an exercise trampoline (which the kids love) some dress up jewelry, a big cooking pot and firewood carrying bag that Bryan's Mom made a long time ago.
