Merry Christmas.....

Christmas Concert part II or is III ???

Hannah and Chloe's K-4 holiday review was on Wednesday. This is probably the cutest show you'll see.

Hannah was chosen to play the wind chimes.

It was weird, like Chloe positioned herself so I couldn't get any really good pictures of her.......

They all did a great job.

A preview of the Christmas Concert....

The Church Pageant....

Last Sunday was the Christmas pageant at church....the first one Dillon's been in. All went very well. He wasn't still, but he didn't "get into anything". Chloe and Hannah were doves and Dillon was a sheep. Also during the church service Dillon took the collection, with Meme's help. I'm certain it has never been done quite like that, but the money got collected!

Dillon's grand entrance.

The girls grand entrance.

No, he wasn't asleep, as hard as the other kids prayed he was.

The view from the balcony. I'm not sure what Dillon was doing but all eyes were on him.

Santa doing the collection.

Oh Jaggar!!!!

Here Comes Santa Claus....

This afternoon a bunch (and I do mean a bunch)of us gathered at Dean and Robin's house to see Santa go by and for a pizza party. It was SOOO cold, but it didn't seem to bother the kids....or Santa.

Some of the "bunch". Tanner and Quinten (babies) were in warm cars and Michael (Dillon's buddy) was hiding.

Early Christmas presents....

Hannah and Piper

Chloe and Jaggar

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 :)
