These sweet (right now) little kittens are from the animal shelter. They are three months old and are brother and sister.

Merry Christmas girls!

Chloe's Christmas Concert part I....

Tuesday night we went to Chloe's first Christmas concert of the season. The 3rd and 4th grade chorus also performs at the K-2 Holiday Review. I guess it really should be called the K-4 Holiday Review. Anyway, she did great. All the kids did great. Dillon really enjoyed it, especially the band. The next performance is Wednesday morning. Hannah will be in that one playing the wind chimes and singing.

Chloe's teeth....or lack of.....

On Friday, December 4th, Chloe had 8, yes 8 teeth pulled. She handled it like a champ...no crying, no pain, not even any hesitation when they called her in and said I had to stay in the waiting room (the nerve of them!). There was absolutely NO pain involved before, during or after.

Amazing.

I don't have a picture of this. When we got home she wouldn't let me take a picture,as she had blood running down her chin. It wasn't a pretty site, but NO PAIN. We were equally as happy with the dentist and his staff.

Great job Chloe!

Here's a picture of Chloe looking "rough", but it has nothing to do with having 8 teeth pulled. This picture is actually from a few months ago when I was "fighting" with the camera.....but you get the idea :)

Winter has arrived....

I took this picture the other day during the snow storm. Now it is calm out but cold!!

the Snowman...

The kids built this snowman yesterday.....it blew over though.

SNOW....

It's a snowy, windy, chilly, no school day!

SANTA!!!!!!!

Our weekend was filled with gingerbread men, Santa, a gingerbread house and a snowman.

On Saturday we went to the Courthouse and the kids decorated gingerbread men. Chloe opted not too, but Hannah and Dillon had a great time decorating. The picture is Dillon's gingerbread man. Hannah ate hers before I got a picture!

Then, on to Gardenworks to see Santa. Of course there was a line, but not a long one.....which was a good thing. Dillon started talking to Santa as soon as he saw him! Eventually it was his turn and WOW was he excited. He talked Santa's ear off all while "petting" Santa's furry costume.

On Sunday after church we went to Meme and Papa's house. Meme and Hannah built a snowman in our newly fallen snow. Then the kids built a gingerbread house. I didn't have my camera, so no pictures. I'm sure you can imagine the fun they had!

Today Dillon and I are off to shop for some hats and mittens for church. We have a hat/mitten/sock tree to collect for kids who need them. Anyone local, we would love your donation! First United Presbyterian Church (the white church in town).

First snowfall of the season...

What a difference a day can make!

Our first snowfall of the season didn't produce much snow, just enough to get the kids excited....

and the dog.

Nude Wii playing...

What can I say???? Hannah was starting Mario Kart and I guess he didn't have time to get dressed.

Cowboy Dillon....
