2010 Fun and 2011 New Beginnings

MJ looses her first tooth! Well, two actually. Apparently her teeth like like her too much and refuse to leave when a new one tries to take its place. So, her first two lost teeth were "lost" as a result of a nice dentist having to pull them for her. This Christmas she could actually say "all I want for Christmas is my two front teeth."

Update: MJ had another tooth refuse to cooperate and again, she had to have two teeth pulled.

And here would be our 2nd grader in her attractive, stylish new glasses.

Dad recently celebrated a birthday...

And though it certainly wasn't a white Christmas here, we have had enough snow to get out a play in it once in a while...

Jared and Kyle and friends playing football...

While some play football in the snow, Corey refuses. He'd rather watch.

But the girls are always good for a snow angel or two and Corey does know how to shovel...when he puts his back into it!

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, the kids were making cookies for Santa, the reindeer and elves.

And here is Jared practicing a recipe he learned in Home Economics.
Yummy, too!

Christmas morning (with electricity this year!)

So pretty in their Christmas dresses...

MJ gets a surprise visitor from the big guy at school.
