All I Want For Christmas...

Things have been kind of slow around here lately. That's a good thing. Brandon finished shutter #2, so our family room now has a matching set. We installed them last night, along with moving some furniture around so that we could set our Christmas tree up. Yeah, December 12th! Don't you think it's about time we get ready for Christmas? But honestly, I just wasn't in the mood to rearrange our house AGAIN, just to make room for a tree. So, when the thought popped into my head to just put it down in the basement everything fell into place. The girls were even really excited because their best friends have their tree in their basement (or so they say). Now we're more in the Christmas spirit.

Chloe is becoming familiar with the "All I Want For Chistmas is My Two Front Teeth" song. She's had this loose tooth FOREVER. But she thought she could wait until Christmas for it to fall out -- she wanted to put it under her pillow on Christmas. Hmmm... Santa and the Tooth Fairy in one night? Is that what she was trying to arrange? We were so sure it was coming out on Thanksgiving, but she kept it hanging in there. It was rather disturbing to look at, but we honored her wishes and left it alone. Finally, last week she was playing around with Brandon and they were making some plan to trick me into believing it had fell out. Brandon tells me she just reached into her mouth and plucked it out. He thinks even she was surprised at how easily it came out, but their plan to trick me was now foiled. Oh well. She now has a big gap to show off. This is her first real "gap." Her other two teeth had teeth pushing up to come through before they fell out. This one has no sign of a new tooth yet. She talks kind of funny now. Can't say her S's too well. We'll see if she gets a new tooth for Christmas.
