Well I guess I posted a little early about the two front teeth, because now Chloe is actually missing both of her bottom front teeth; not just one. Yesterday she was sitting on the couch watching a movie and then she came running in the kitchen yelling "Mom my other tooth came out". Sure enough now there is quite a space on the bottom of her mouth, and she looks so cute. 
On Monday the kids and I decided to make our yearly Christmas Sugar Cookies. First I had the kids help me scrub the kitchen from top to bottom and the we started our venture. I made a double batch but we ended up only using half of it and freezing the other half for later, which is a good thing because with what we did use we had 5 cookie sheets full of cookies. The kids had fun cutting them out and decorating them. We used some for gifts, and kept the rest to eat. The end product was delicious.
So it has finally happened Chloe has lost her first tooth. She has been waiting for months for this great event ever since her cousin Saydee, lost her first tooth. She is so excited for the tooth fairy to come. Guess I better pull out my wings and get them dusted off. LOL
Check out the nice suit coat for $1 and Landon made the awesome shoes and hat from a couple of stockings.
Chloe was a reindeer.
Rudolph to be exact complete with red nose and she had me paint her nails black because reindeer have black feet.
Fun! Fun! Only 8 more Days until Christmas! Yeah!
This week is Spirit Week at the kids school again. Today was flashback day. I was really feeling burnout last night so we didn't come up with anything to great for the kids except some great memories. The rolled up jeans for Tanner and a ponytail on the side for Chloe. I tried to peg (or roll) her jeans as well but she started crying and said it looked ugly. HaHa. next year I will head to the DI for sure and track down some cool stuff.
Tomorrow is Christmas Day, so be waiting for a new post. Landon has been hard at work sewing an elf costume for Tanner and I snagged him a nice red suit coat at the dollar store. Chloe is going to be a reindeer. I will post those picts sometime tomorrow so check back.
Today we had our annual Family Christmas Party. It was lots of fun. We started out with a story of the true meaning of Christmas-it was very nice. Then it was onto the Gingerbread House decorating. The girls had houses and the boys had castles. We had lots of yummy food and even a visit from Santa Clause himself (aka Grandpa Doug). All of the kids especially the smaller ones-except Taelor- were so excited to see him and were very happy with the presents he brought for them. We had a fun, fun time and were glad for the time were were able to spend with the family.
The basketball season for Tanner is underway. This year he is on the TrailBlazer's team. They are doing very good so far. They had a game this morning-bright and early at 8:00-I guess I should call it a butt whoopin though at least for the other team. I was actually starting to feel bad for them.
Here is the coach from the other team-not a happy camper.
Tannner is doing very well so far this year he has been getting tons on rebounds and stills and his dribbling has greatly improved. Now we just need to work on him getting a few baskets. He did try for a few today and even made a really impressive drive but nothing was going in for him. Hopefully that will change over the next few games. I really like there coach he teaches the boys to pass and not just to run down and pass, in fact a few times during the game there were boys that had a chance to make a shot but the looked for a team member who hadn't made a basket yet and threw it to them to let them have a chance. I was very impressed.
