Lost Tooth!


Logan finally lost his first tooth. It was loose forever and we tried several times to pull that tooth. We thought it was finally going to come out on Christmas Eve, but it hung in there for a few more days. The Tooth Fairy did visit Logan and left him some $1 coins. Logan thought that was really cool. He asked me to hide them, so his sisters would not steal them from him. :)

Christmas Cards

So, how many pictures do you think that I had to take to get a picture for our Christmas Cards?
Would you believe 51? Yes, that is correct. 51 pictures. Not that I ended up with the perfect picture after 51 tries. I simply gave up. :)
Why is this so painful? I haven't figured that out yet. If someone knows, please clue me in.

Gum, anyone?

Okay, so here is the finished product. But, I have to admit that this one was "touched up".

Here is the original. This is what happens when you give the youngest child a candy cane during the process to try and convince him to sit still. Thanks for fixing the picture, Chris!

I put the rest of the cards in the mail today, so act surprised when you get it out of the mailbox.

Merry Christmas!

TobyMac Concert


We celebrated our 17th anniversary this weekend with a trip to Huntsville to attend a TobyMac concert. We took the kids with us, but we did get to go out to eat on Friday night alone, thanks to Laura. Neil and I had a nice dinner at Carrabba's, while the kids had pizza with Aunt Laura.

On Saturday, Laura and I took the kids shopping. Bad mistake! I was trying to find the kids outfits for the Hanging of the Green that is Wednesday. I had big hopes of finding those perfect outfits and getting great pictures for my Christmas cards. If my photo shoot goes anything like my shopping experience - well, you may not get Christmas cards this year. I did get outfits for the kids, but not before my patience was thoroughly tested and totally gone.

We made in home in time to watch the Bama game and well that didn't turn out any better than my shopping experience. :( I really thought they were going to win the game, but it didn't work out for us.

We left for the concert after the game and that did help lift everyone's spirits. The kids enjoyed the concert. Logan crashed at the very end of it, but prior to that, he was having a blast.
