A blog about Kyle and Rebecca's family
Jeremy makes the best funny faces.
This is the Christmas tree, with the living room lights and the flash on:
Here it is again, still with the living room lights on, but the flash off:
One more time but this time with the living room lights and the flash both off:
I love how the colors of the lights on the tree bounce off the wall and make a pretty background. 🙂
We had a Christmas party with our girl scout troop tonight. The juniors as part of the drawing badge made some art to display at our party.
We passed out awards and then we had a hot chocolate bar. It was very simple, but the kids really enjoyed adding all kinds of things to their hot chocolate.
Our Fuji camera started having some problems back in November. We were at the Locks of Love hair drive and we were taking pictures (of course) and the camera locked. We couldn’t turn it off, we couldn’t scroll through the pictures to see them it wouldn’t do anything it was just frozen. So we had to take out the battery and put it back in again to get it to reset. It got really bad on Thanksgiving. We were having to take the battery out to reset it after EVERY PICTURE WE TOOK! So we relied on our phones for awhile and I was very glad Liesl was in town to take pictures at Jeremy’s baptism and after party. Shortly after that we decided to just bite the bullet and buy a new camera, but a nice one. We are kind of sick of buying the little digital cameras that so far have all started giving us issues right after the one year warranty has expired. Kyle got me a Cannon EOS Rebel T3i and it arrived today! I thought about being a good girl and not playing with my new camera until Christmas, because it was supposed to be my Christmas present, but Kyle insisted that I pull it out and charge it and start playing with it now so that I would be able to use it Christmas morning.
Say CHEESE!
Lydia wanted to help change Adam’s diaper, and I LOVE that he was just laying there for her! So I took a picture:
Today we spent a couple of hours at the dentist. Every kid needed work of some kind. Chloe, Dinah and Tyra all had cavities. Jeremy needed sealants. And Ethan needed two teeth pulled. Apparently these are baby teeth that the dentist has been waiting for them to fall out on their own since at least our last visit six months ago, and they just aren’t coming out on their own. The adult tooth, is actually coming in and pushing on the baby teeth and they are falling out one piece at a time instead of in one whole piece. I asked the dentist to somehow label the teeth and mark them so the tooth fairy knows which is which, and he put them in these little boxes for us:
Yes tooth “J” is in three pieces. This next picture is rather blurry, but that upper tooth surrounded by the red tissue, is the adult tooth that was crumbling the baby teeth. It’s totally already quite a ways out, and those baby teeth were just refusing to budge!
