Merry Christmas!!! 2011

Well... we try to not focus on Santa this time of the year. However, I noticed Essie has no pics of her with him. So off we went to the mall to find Santa. Adeline asked for a stuffed butterfly and Essie did the same, however prior to seeing him she had decided on something different. Not sure if she forgot or just figured it must be good if Adeline wants it. Adeline in the car had said she wanted a stuffed Santa, but was too embarassed to ask him for that. Wow... now to keep materialism away for another year I hope. Santa even asked them "Don't you want a baby doll". You could hear crickets. I think they like the ones they have! (until they know different at least).

Elf on the shelf

So we adopted Elf on the Shelf this year! We named her Christmas Eve Snow! She seems very diligent. We tend to find that she likes to hang around our Christmas decorations. We look forward to learning more about her. Tonight I found her checking out the girls sleeping. find out more at Elf on the Shelf.

Helper Adeline

Adeline is such a helper. Today she ran into the living room and drug Bryan to their bathroom to show him this leak we have under the sink. So they worked together on it. Then she informed him she would update him on Friday of its status. If there is water in a little cup she will tell him. If there isn't any water.... she will tell him then too!
We have noticed Adeline does seem to regularly take initiative on her own doing. I wonder how God is going to use that character trait.

Do you see what I see?

Can you see a difference?

Adeline lost her first tooth tonight! She was brushing her teeth... and the way she tells it she brushed them a little too hard. She says she though she had a nut in her mouth and it was her tooth. She came running in and said my tooth came out. I screamed a happy scream which really ended up scaring her (oops). Then I realized there was blood every where (in her mouth) so we ran to the kitchen with a napkin and in hopes of ice. But once I got some pressure on it and told her she needed ice cream to make it better all was good.

Can't wait to see what the Tooth Fairy brings her! Good thing Martha made her a tooth pillow and had given a book. This whole loose thooth thing only started on Monday.

My girl is growing up so fast. We thank God for you Adeline. He has a plan a purpose just for you!!! Today it was that tooth coming out.

God gave you that tooth and it served you well eating lots of apples, carrots, and even some candy.
