Shawn



Shawn has lost his first tooth! I thought for sure this tooth would hang by a thread for days but all of the sudden it just fell out! He was very proud of his lost tooth and super excited for what was under his pillow in the morning.

It's a Golden Birthday!



Today Collin is 7! 7 on December 7th. I can't believe how fast he is growing up. He is now in the first grade and loves school. For his birthday, we gave him a pottery class. He is so excited to make lots of pottery, even using the wheel!



Happy Birthday Collin, We Love You!

Christmas Tree







We have made a tradition out of going and cutting down our own Christmas Tree. Seeing as this is our first year in Kentucky, I didn't know where a place was yet. Micah is traveling quite a bit this month so when I saw Costco was selling fresh cut trees, I quickly made the purchase and had it loaded into the car. The tree was heavy, the trunk was huge and since it was all wrapped up I didn't know what it would look like once we got it home.



We opened the tree to find the biggest fattest tree I had ever seen. Not my choice of a tree but Micah and the boys were so excited. We got it into the house, put lights on it (after going to get more strands since we didn't have enough for the monstrosity), and we all enjoyed putting ornaments on the tree. As we were doing all this, I mentioned to Micah that it seemed to lean to one side but he quickly dismissed my worries. After decorating, we ate dinner and all of the sudden we heard a crash...






You know what happend by now, THE TREE FELL OVER!
