Brayden was saying that he wanted it to snow ...a couple of minutes later it started to snow!! He was SO EXCITED!

 

 

These pictures capture it perfectly.

I love how you can see his missing tooth.

Chads Christmas Party

 

We had a nice dinner with the managers...

 

There was an engagement! That was exciting!

 

 

after, was the party...

It was really nice to spend time with Brian. He suffered a huge loss this year. He is an amazing man, that will use that

to glorify God, I am sure. 

 



 

I was really glad that Kruppa and Mandy came- even though they have opened their on restaraunt! Even though they are now ex employees they are very good friends!

losing a toof

I told Brayden if he lost his tooth on a Sunday the Tooth Fairy pays double, this is how I found him minutes later,

 

 

His Tooth fell out a couple later- while we were eating Chinese- we all thought it was rice!

Clay was born

I got to meet Clay Curs today.

He is adorable.

What a blessing he is.

 

Congratulations!

 

look who lost his FIRST tooth (touff)

when i went to pick brayden up from camp today...he was beside himself! he was giddy- he wanted to smile but wasn't...then it dawned on me- he lost his tooth!

he was so excited! as you can see, his new tooth was already growing behind.

we dont believe in the tooth fairy. but i did have a house made for them to put their teeth in... one side is a pocket from my moms favorite jean jacket, the other side has a windows and doors made out of his baby bedding & first onesie.

who knows what he will find in there tomorrow morning.

our little man, growing up!
