Christmas Comes Early Sometimes....

We had Christmas with my Parents early due to them going away for Christmas while I remain home and work :( We started our evening out with a Pizza Supper....ALWAYS GOOD! Hannah then read us the Christmas Story...reminding us of the TRUE reason we celebrate Christmas. Abigail said a prayer for us, thanking the Lord for all the blessings He has bestowed on us throughout the year. YES, many difficulties, but He helped us through them all! Then Abigail began handing out gifts. We certainly had a wonderful time and we thank Mom & Dad, Grandma & Grandpa, Hannah & Naomi for EVERYTHING! They outdid themselves again. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

OH THE WEATHER OUTSIDE IS FRIGHTFUL......
I only like this weather if I do NOT have to go out in it. Unfortuantly, around here it's almost next to impossible to not have to go out sometime during the day. I guess that's what winter is all about huh! That's why I cannot wait until Summer!!!! (Or at least Spring ~ I'm not one for cold anyway) Anyway, as of now here's what we have and it's still coming down. I suppose I'm going to pretend to be a bear for tonight (of course my DH probably thinks I'm a bear ALL the time) and go hibernate for the night.

Even poor little Cuddles has to forge the snow...thankfully he is black so he doesn't get too lost :-)

In other news....the tooth fairy will be visiting AGAIN tonight :-} That's right Abigail lost another tooth tonight. She has another one that's VERY close to coming out so I'm sure we haven't seen the last of 'her' for this year.

FAIRY VISITS AGAIN

BIG NEWS:
Abigail has finally lost another tooth. Unfortunately the other tooth has already grown in behind it (before she lost it) so she can not sing "All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth" She has had this problem with all of her teeth. The dentist attributes it to her getting her teeth late (16 months old for the FIRST tooth)

Look closely you can see a little gap on the right side

Feverishly making something for the "tooth fairy" She also wrote a nice little note for her also. I'm sure the fairy will leave her something nice ;-)

TALK ABOUT TIRED!

Sometime this afternoon Zachary had crawled into bed and went to sleep...a RARITY for him!! I thought he was upstairs. At supper I finally woke him up but he was still so tired he couldn't hardly function. I took the opportunity to snap a few pictures. He did eventually wake up but never did eat anything. Yes one day he will not like this but for now I'm having FUN! Love ya my little man!

Do I really have to eat? I'm too tired!

Ok maybe I'll eat one bite...

Still having a difficult time eating even with a mouth full...I just can't handle it!
